Abstract：Obj ective:To observe the effect of cluster of intervention applied in PICC catheter for very low birth weight children.Methods:A total of very low birth weight children receiving PICC catheter were randomly di-vided into observation group (43 cases)and control group (42 cases).Pa-tients in control group received routine catheter care,patients in observa-tion group received cluster of intervention on the basis of routine catheter care,then to compare and analyze the disposable catheter success rate,com-plications,catheter time and hospital stay of patients between two groups. Results:The success rate of disposable catheters in observation group was higher than that in control group;catheter ectopic rate,incidence of plug-ging and mechanical phlebitis and catheter infection rate were lower than that in control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Catheterization time in patients in observation group was longer than that in control group,length of stay was less than that in control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 ).Conclusion:Cluster of intervention can effectively improve the disposable catheter success rate, prolong catheterization time,reduce catheter complications in very low birth weight children,and shorten their hospital stays.
