Long Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion Site and Catheter-related Complications in Antimicrobial Therapy
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This study applies long PIVCs to patients undergoing antimicrobial therapy, and compares the effects of different placement sites, aiming to provide a reference basis for patients undergoing antimicrobial treatment to select the optimal placement site, thus reducing complications, prolonging catheter retention time, and alleviating the patient's pain.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * ① estimated time of intravenous infusion ≥1 week; ② age: ≥18 years; ③ antimicrobial therapy was only used for treatment during hospitalization, with a pH value of 5-9 and osmotic pressure \< 900 mOsm/L; and ④ patients were conscious and able to communicate normally; ⑤ the catheter-to-vessel ratio is less than 45%. Exclusion Criteria: * ① a history of radiotherapy, thrombosis, and trauma at the catheterization site and ② plans to discharge with a catheter during the study duration.
