Research on Related Factors of Phlebitis after PICC Placement in Liver Transplantation

Objective To explore the risk factors of phlebitis after peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC) placement in patients with liver transplantation.Methods Puncture record,blood clotting index,immune function index,nutrition status indicators and blood sugar level were collected in 180 patients with liver transplantation to analyze the relationship between the indicators and the occurrence of phlebitis after PICC.Results The incidence of phlebitis was 15.6%(28/180)in 180 cases.The above-mentioned indicators were compared between phlebitis group and no phlebitis control group.Indicators with statistically significant differences between the two groups were taken as independent variables,while the occurrence of phlebitis was taken as dependent variable for multiple Logistic regression analysis.The analysis showed that age,sex,primary disease,catheter vein,puncture,numbers of trying to place the tube were the risk factors of PICC phlebitis in patients with liver transplantation.Conclusion Medical personnel should pay special attention to aged women patients with liver cancer,and choose basilica vein by puncturing in the elbow to ensure one time catheter placement,which can reduce the incidence of phlebitis after catheter placement and guarantee the normal use of PICC in liver transplantation patients.
