Abstract
Objective To improve the problems of catheter occlusion, low comfort of patients and low satisfaction of nurses, the pre-filled SS-Y valve fixation method was used for catheter nursing. Methods Traditional method of arterial catheter nursing were performed in 54 patients with malignant tumors of digestive tract treated by transcatheter arterial infusion chemotherapy (TAI) (control group) from April 1 to December 31, 2017 in the Department of Radiation Intervention, the Affiliated Second Hospital of Medical College of Zhejiang University. Pre-filled SS-Y valve fixation method was used for arterial catheter nursing in 72 patients treated with TAI (observation group) from January 1 to September 30, 2018. The fixation, comfort and satisfaction of nurses were compared between the two groups. Results The rate of arterial catheter displacement, slippage and satisfaction of nurses were 0, 0 and 97.22% (70/72) in observation group, and 13.0% (7/54), 5.6% (3/54), 77.78% (42/54) in control group. Significant statistic differences were found between two groups in rate of arterial catheter displacement and comfort scores (χ2=9.882, 11.813, P 0.05). The comfort scores of the patients in observation group at 5 time points were better than those in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-6.462--3.611, P < 0.01). Conclusions The method of pre-filled SS-Y valve fixation is reliable with a low displacement rate and a higher satisfaction for both patients and nurses. This method can be popularized in clinical nursing. Key words: Transcatheter arterial infusion; Y valve; Medical surgical film; Fixed; Nursing care
