Choosing an appropriately sized vein reduces the risk of venous thromboembolism associated with peripherally inserted central catheters. This observational study described the diameters of the brachial, basilic, and cephalic veins and determined the effect of patient factors on vein size. Ultrasound was used to measure the veins of 176 participants. Vein diameter was similar in both arms regardless of hand dominance and side. Patient factors-including greater age, height, and weight, as well as male gender-were associated with increased vein diameter. The basilic vein tended to have the largest diameter statistically. However, this was the case in only 55% of patients.
选择尺寸合适的静脉可降低与外周静脉置入中心静脉导管相关的静脉血栓栓塞风险。这项观察性研究描述了肱静脉、贵要静脉和头静脉的直径，并确定了患者因素对静脉大小的影响。使用超声测量了176名参与者的静脉。无论优势手和侧别如何，双臂的静脉直径相似。患者因素，包括年龄较大、身高较高、体重较重以及男性性别，均与静脉直径增加有关。统计学上，贵要静脉的直径往往最大。然而，仅55%的患者是这种情况。
