The antibacterial catheter of Saituoanbao and common central venous catheter of braun in ICU

Objective: To study the efficacy comparison between the antibacterial catheter and common central venous catheter in ICU patients. Methods: The 110 ICU patients with central venous catheter were randomized into the control group(common central venous catheter)and the observation group(antibacterial catheter), 55 patients per group. The success rate of catheter, the averange catheter days, complications, and the incidence of catheter-related infection(CRI)and pathogen distribution in the two groups were observed and compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the success rate of catheter was significantly increased(100.0% vs 81.8%, x2=11.00, P0.05), the averange catheter days were obviously reduced(12.5±3.0 vs 13.5±3.0, t=3.49, P0.05)days, the incidences of complications(red and swelling in puncture site(3.6% vs 27.3%, x2=11.76, P0.05), fluid in puncutre site(3.6% vs 21.8%, x2=8.18, P0.05), catheter herniation(1.8% vs 20.0%, x2=9.35, P0.05)were significantly decreased in the observation group with statistical difference(P0.05). Conclusion: The antibacterial catheter can significantly reduce the incidence of CRI for ICU patients and improve the security of central venous catheter.
