Analysis of the related factors causing PlCC infection in critical y il patients in neurosurgical department and nursing countermeasures
Abstract：Objective:To analyze the related factors causing PICC infection in critically ill patients in neurosurgical department and put forward nursing countermeasures. Methods:The hospitalization data and information of 42 patients who received subclavian PICC(from January 2008 to December 2012)were retrospectively analyzed to find out the related factors causing PICC infection. Results:The infection rate of PICC was 9. 29% in our department and it mainly included indwelling time of catheter,the degree of traumatic brain injury,blood glucose level,the skill of nurses and the time of catheterization. A total of 69 strains were cultured in 42 patients with infection,of which 38 strains were gram negative bacilli(55. 07% )and 26 strains were gram positive bacilli(37. 68% ),5 strains were fungi(7. 25% ). The prognosis of patients with catheter - related infection was poor compared with those who were not infected(P < 0. 05). Conclusion:The strict control of the indwelling time of catheter,strict aseptic operation,the targeted and reasonable prevention and nursing measures has important clinical significance for reducing the occurrence of catheter - related infection.
