1Cancer Institute(Hospital), Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Uinon Medical College, Beijing 100021.
Objective:
To evaluate the use of peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC) in perioperative patients with abdominal malignancies for parenteral nutrition.
Methods:
PICC was performed in 33 patients while subclavicular vein insertion in 30 patients for comparison in order to analyse prospectively the advantages and disadvanges of PICC.
Results:
There was no difference in the rate of success of catheter placement and infection between PICC and the "subclavicular" insertion (P > 0.05), but PICC had significantly longer indwelling time than that of the "subclavicular" insertion (P < 0.05). There were less risks associated with PICC insertions, but the flow rate of was lower(p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
PICC can be widely used on account of its longer indwelling time, easy and safe insertion.
