Abstract：Objective To compare the effect of chest CT vena cava localization and in vitro measurement formula in measuring the length of peripherally inserted central venous catheter(PICC)in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods The clinical data of 82 patients with NSCLC who received PICC catheterization in Community Health Service Center of Tianshui Wulin Street of Gongshu District were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into an observation group and a control group,with 41 cases in each group,according to the PICC catheterization length measurement method.The observation group was determined by chest CT superior vena cava location,while the control group was calculated by in vitro measurement formula.The rate of PICC placement once,time of catheterization,time of retention,pain score,occurrence of mechanical phlebitis and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in PICC operation time and pain score between the two groups(P>0.05).The correct place rate of PICC catheterization,retention time of PICC catheterization,occurrence of mechanical phlebitis at puncture site and nursing satisfaction of patients in observation group were significantly better than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Thoracic CT superior vena cava localization method is beneficial to improve the PICC catheterization rate,prolong the indenture time,reduce the risk of mechanical phlebitis,and improve nursing satisfaction.
