This study examined the frequency and types of complications with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) placed in immunocompetent pediatric patients for parenteral antimicrobial therapy. It also sought to determine risk factors associated with those complications. Complications occurred at a frequency of 19.3/1000 PICC days, and greater than 30% of PICCs developed at least one complication. Risk factors for complication include double-lumen PICCs, PICCs placed in the femoral vein, younger age, and greater number of daily doses.
本研究调查了免疫功能正常的儿科患者接受外周静脉置入中心静脉导管(PICC)进行肠外抗菌治疗时的并发症发生频率和类型,并旨在确定与这些并发症相关的危险因素。并发症的发生率为 19.3/1000 个 PICC 天,超过 30%的 PICC 发生了至少一种并发症。并发症的危险因素包括双腔 PICC、股静脉置管、年龄较小和每日剂量较多。
