Abstract
Objective To explore the clinical value of guide-wire shaping in subclavian vein catheterization. Methods Totally 400 patients requiring right subclavian vein catheterization were equally divided into two groups according to the clinic date: intervention group (with guide-wire shaping, n=200) and control group (without guide-wire shaping, n=200). The catheterization was carried out by the same doctor. The rates of ectopic wire were compared between the two groups. Results The overall success rate of catheterization was 98.25% (393/400) [98.5%(197/200) in intervention group and 98.0%(196/200) in control group, P=0.500]. The incidence of catheter displacement was 1.02%(2/197) in intervention group, which was significantly lower than that [7.14%(14/196)] in control group (P=0.002). Conclusion As a simple procedure, guide-wire shaping can effectively prevent catheter displacement during catheterization. Key words: Catheters; Subclavian vein; Internal jugular vein; Ectopic
