Abstract
Objective To investigate the efficacy of suprasorb G polyurethane hydrogel application as a method of early nursing interventions on the prophylaxis of mechanical phlebitis resulting from PICC tube.Methods 102 elderly patients with hematological malignancies were randomly divided into experimental group and contrast group by parity sequence of setting PICC tube.The patients in experimental group received prophylactic administration of suprasorb G polyurethane hydrogel application along the punctured vein 3 to 5 cm above acupuncture point for 7 to 10 days.And then psychological and exercise instruction were also given after PICC tube.The patients in contrast group were only given psychological and exercise instruction after PICC tube.Results The incidence of mechanical phlebitis in experimental group was 3.92％ and significant difference ( x2 =3.888,P ＜ 0.05) was present when compared with contrast group ( 15.7％ ).Conclusions Suprasorb G polyurethane hydrogel application as an early nursing intervention can markedly reduce incidence of mechanical phlebitis induced by PICC tube and relieve pain.
