Application effects comparison of the venous port access and PICC in patients with breast cancer:a meta analysis
Abstract：Objective:To identify the effects of venous port access(VPA)and PICC for patients with breast canc-er.Methods:The related document literature on the effects of VPA and PICC on breast cancer patients published before 2015 were searched and collected from databases including:China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Wanfang Periodical Databases,Chinese biomedicine literature database (SinoMed),Chinese Science Technology Periodical Databases(VIP),PubMed,Web of science and Elsevier Science.RevMan 5.3 software was used for analysis through the“snowball”approach,tracing into the literature attached to the references.Re-sults:A total of 1 6 articles were included.Meta analysis showed that the complications of VPA chemotherapy were significantly less than those of PICC.There was no statistically significant difference in disposable catheter success rate between the two methods.Indwelling time of VPA was significantly longer than PICC,and the quality of life(QOL)of breast cancer patients treated with VPA was significantly better than that of patients treated with PICC.Conclusions:VPA is recommended for breast cancer patients who need long term chemo-therapy.Nursing personnel staffs should strengthen the care of catheter to reduce the incidence of complica-tions,and improve QOL of patients.
