Safety and effectiveness of tunneled peripherally inserted central catheters versus conventional PICC in adult cancer patients. Eur Radiol 2024:10.1007/s00330-024-10852-y. [PMID: 38940828 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-024-10852-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of tunneled peripherally inserted central catheters (T-PICC) vs. conventional PICCs (C-PICC) in adult cancer patients. METHODS A multicentre randomized controlled trial was conducted between April 2021 and January 2022 in seven hospitals in China. 564 participants were randomly assigned to T-PICC or C-PICC. These data were collected and compared: the baseline characteristics and catheterization-related characteristics, periprocedural complications, and long-term complications. RESULTS Five-hundred fifty-three participants (aged, 52.6 ± 12.3 years; female, 39.1%) were ultimately analyzed. No significant differences in periprocedural complications were found between the T-PICC and C-PICC groups (all p > 0.05). Compared with C-PICC, T-PICC significantly reduced the incidence of long-term complications (26.4% vs. 39.9%, p < 0.001). Specifically, reduced complications were found in central line-associated bloodstream infection (1.8% vs. 5.1%, p = 0.04), thrombosis (1.1% vs. 4.0%, p = 0.03), catheter dislodgement (4.7% vs. 10.1%, p = 0.01), non-infectious oozing (17.3% vs. 28.6%, p = 0.002), local infection (3.6% vs. 7.6%, p = 0.04), skin irritation (6.1% vs. 10.9%, p = 0.046), and reduced unplanned catheter removal (2.2% vs. 7.2%, p = 0.005). No significant differences were found between T-PICC and C-PICC regarding catheter occlusion (6.5% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.73) or skin damage (2.2% vs. 2.9%, p = 0.58). CONCLUSION T-PICC is safe and effectively reduces long-term complications. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The tunneled technique is effective in reducing PICC-related long-term complications. Thus, it is recommended for cancer patients at high risk of PICC-related complications. TRIAL REGISTRATION The registration number on https://www.chictr.org.cn/ is ChiCTR2100044632. The name of the trial registry is "A multicenter randomized controlled study of clinical use of tunneled vs. non-tunneled PICC". KEY POINTS Cather-related complications are associated with the technique of catheterization. Compared with conventional PICC, tunneled PICC reduced catheter-related long-term complications. Tunneled PICC placement provides an alternative catheterization method for cancer patients.

Types of peripherally inserted central catheters and the risk of unplanned removals in patients: A prospective cohort study. Int J Nurs Stud 2024; 149:104621. [PMID: 37922685 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2023.104621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripherally inserted central catheters are widely used in clinical practice. Despite the many advantages of peripherally inserted central catheters, unplanned removals can occur owing to irreversible complications and may have adverse consequences for patients. However, the relationship between peripherally inserted central catheter type and the incidence of unplanned removal is unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between the type of peripherally inserted central catheter and unplanned catheter removal. DESIGN A multicenter prospective cohort study. SETTINGS Sixty hospitals located in 30 cities across seven provinces in China. PARTICIPANTS Three thousand two hundred and twenty-two patients aged 18 years or older with one peripherally inserted central catheter inserted for treatment were enrolled, and 3166 (98.3 %) patients with follow-up data were included in the final analysis. METHODS The included participants had peripherally inserted central catheters that either had a proximal valve (n = 2436) or were open-ended (n = 730). A competing risk Cox regression model was used, and both univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. A sub-distribution hazard model was applied to test the validity of the results. RESULTS Of the 2436 peripherally inserted central catheters with a proximal valve and 730 that were open-ended, 272 (11.2 %) and 46 (6.3 %) were removed unplanned, respectively. The whole incidence of unplanned removal was 10.04 %; multivariate Cox regression was conducted and it was determined that unplanned removal was statistically significantly associated with the proximal valve peripherally inserted central catheter type (hazard ratio: 1.86, 95 % confidence interval: 1.28 to 2.70, p = 0.001). In patients without cancer, the risk of unplanned removal of peripherally inserted central catheters with a proximal valve was 8.14 times higher than that of open-ended peripherally inserted central catheters (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this study, peripherally inserted central catheters with a proximal valve had a higher risk of unplanned removals, especially in patients without cancer. The peripherally inserted central catheter type should be considered in advance, and clinical staff should take appropriate measures to prevent unplanned removals after insertion.

[PMID: 37302889 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2023.05.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors of the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)-related venous thrombosis and correspondingly construct a nomogram risk prediction model. METHODS The clinical data of 401 patients receiving PICC catheterization in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The independent influencing factors for venous thrombosis were predicted using logistic regression analysis, and significant indicators were screened to construct a nomogram for predicting PICC-related venous thrombosis. The difference in predictive efficacy between simple clinical data and nomogram was analyzed using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the nomogram was internally validated. RESULTS Single-factor analysis showed that catheter tip position, plasma D-dimer concentration, venous compression, malignant tumor, diabetes, history of thrombosis, history of chemotherapy, and history of PICC/CVC catheterization were correlated with PICC-related venous thrombosis. Further multi-factor analysis revealed that catheter tip position, plasma D-dimer elevation, venous compression, history of thrombosis and history of PICC/CVC catheterization were the risk factors for PICC-related venous thrombosis. Based on binary logistic regression analysis, a nomogram prediction model for PICC-related venous thrombosis was constructed. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.876 (95%CI: 0.818-0.925), with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The independent risk factors for PICC-related venous thrombosis are screened out, including catheter tip position, plasma D-dimer elevation, venous compression, history of thrombosis and history of PICC/CVC catheterization, and a nomogram prediction model with good effect is constructed to predict the risk of PICC-related venous thrombosis.

Effects of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) Catheterization Nursing on Bloodstream Infection in Peripheral Central Venous Catheters in Lung Cancer: A Single-Center, Retrospective Study. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2791464. [PMID: 36158127 PMCID: PMC9499753 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2791464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background. Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), as one of the important intravenous routes for the rescue and treatment of critically ill patients, has been widely used in the fluid resuscitation of critically ill patients in intensive care. In particular, PICC can be widely used in the treatment of cancer patients. With the wide application of peripheral central venous catheterization, the clinical findings of bloodstream infection complications caused by PICC have gradually attracted the attention of doctors and patients. Aims. To investigate the effect of specialized placement and PICC placement care on patients with lung cancer who underwent PICC puncture. Patients were selected and divided into a comparison group and an observation group of 40 patients each according to the randomized residual grouping method. In the comparison group, routine PICC placement and catheter maintenance were performed, while the observation group was provided with specialized placement and PICC placement care. The differences in immune and tumor marker levels and nursing compliance between the two groups were observed and compared before and after nursing care. Results. There was no significant difference in the comparison of tumor marker levels between the two groups of patients before care, while the levels of CYFRA21-1, CA125, and VGEF in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the comparison group after care, and this difference was statistically significant (
). There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of immune levels between the two groups before care (
), while the comparison of CD4+, CD3+, and CD4+/CD8+ after care was significantly different and higher in the observation group than in the comparison group, and the comparison was statistically significant (
). The compliance rate of 93.8% in the observation group was significantly higher than that of 77.9% in the comparison group, and this difference was statistically significant for comparison (
). Conclusion. PICC placement care is more effective in patients with lung cancer and performing PICC puncture, significantly improves patients’ immune and tumor marker levels, improves patients’ negative emotions, reduces disease uncertainty, and improves nursing compliance.

A Meta-Analysis of Incidence of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection with Midline Catheters and Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:6383777. [PMID: 35313516 PMCID: PMC8934223 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6383777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
In order to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of CRBSI during clinical intravenous infusion therapy, this paper investigates the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in the treatment of midline catheters (MCs) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) by intravenous infusion. Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest are searched to collect CRBSI-related studies on MC and PICC. The retrieval time is from the database construction to August 2020. Two researchers independently searched and screened literature quality evaluation and extracted data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and RevMan 5.3 software was used for analysis. Eleven studies are included, with a total of 33809 patients. The incidence of CRBSI in the MC group is 0.599% (43/7079), and that in the PICC group is 0.4993% (133/26630). Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of CRBSI in the MC group is higher than that in the PICC group (OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.43–1.08, P=0.11), and the difference is statistically significant when low-quality studies are excluded (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.39–0.93, P=0.02). There is no significant difference in the incidence of CRBSI between MC group and PICC group (P > 0.05), American subgroup (OR = 0.52), and British subgroup (OR = 4.86), the results of the two groups are opposite, and the incidence of CRBSI between the MC group and PICC group is statistically significant. There is no significant difference in the incidence of CRBSI between the adult and other subgroups (all P > 0.05). There is no significant difference in the incidence of CRBSI between the MC group and the PICC group (P > 0.05). Overall, the inter-study stability is general, the quality is good and the medium is good, and there is no obvious publication bias. The risk of CRBSI in MC and PICC is systematically evaluated and meta-analyzed for the first time. The incidence of CRBSI in MC group is lower than that in PICC group during intravenous infusion therapy. Under the same conditions, MC patients can be given priority for intravenous infusion therapy. More high-quality and child-related studies are needed to further evaluate and explore the risk of CRBSI between MC and PICC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) provide reliable intravenous access for delivery of parenteral therapy. Yet, little is known about PICC care practices or how they vary across hospitals. We compared PICC-related processes across hospitals with different insertion delivery models. METHODS We used a descriptive qualitative methodology and a naturalist philosophy, with site visits to conduct semistructured interviews completed between August 2018 and January 2019. Study sites included five Veterans Affairs Medical Centres, two with vascular access teams (VATs), two with PICC insertion primarily by interventional radiology (IR) and one without on-site PICC insertion capability. Interview participants were healthcare personnel (n=56), including physicians, bedside and vascular access nurses, and IR clinicians. Data collection focused on four PICC domains: use and decision-making process, insertion, in-hospital management and patient discharge education. We used rapid analysis and a summary matrix to compare practices across sites within each domain. RESULTS Our findings highlight the benefits of dedicated VATs across all PICC-related process domains, including implementation of criteria to guide PICC placement decisions, timely PICC insertion, more robust management practices and well-defined patient discharge education. We also found areas with potential for improvement, such as clinician awareness of PICC appropriateness criteria and alternative devices, deployment of VATs and patient discharge education. CONCLUSION Vascular access nurses play critical roles in all aspects of PICC-related care. There is variation in PICC decision-making, care and maintenance, and patient education across hospitals. Quality and safety improvement opportunities to reduce this variation are highlighted.

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Placement in a Cardiology Ward: A Focus Group Study of Nurses' Perspectives. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:7618. [PMID: 34300069 PMCID: PMC8303562 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18147618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Revised: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Intravenous therapy administration through peripheral venous catheters is one of the most common nursing procedures performed in clinical contexts. However, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) remain insufficiently used by nurses and can be considered a potential alternative for patients who need aggressive intravenous therapy and/or therapy for extended periods. The purpose of this study was to understand nurses' perspectives about PICC implementation in their clinical practice. As part of an action-research project, three focus groups were developed in June 2019 with nineteen nurses of a cardiology ward from a Portuguese tertiary hospital. From the content analysis, two main categories emerged: 'nursing practices' and 'patients'. Nurses considered PICC beneficial for their clinical practice because it facilitates maintenance care and catheter replacement rates. Moreover, nurses suggested that, since there is a need for specific skills, the constitution of vascular access teams, as recommended by international guidelines, could be an advantage. Regarding patient benefits, nurses highlighted a decrease in the number of venipunctures and also of patient discomfort, which was associated with the number of peripheral venous catheters. Infection prevention was also indicated. As an emerging medical device used among clinicians, peripherally inserted central catheters seem to be essential to clinical practice.

Abstract
Choosing the appropriate vascular access device is a pivotal step to guarantee vessel health and preservation in cancer patients. The first turning point is the determination of the need for central venous catheters (CVCs) followed by the selection of the CVC that will complete the prescribed treatment while minimizing complications and satisfying patients' needs and expectations. Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) have steadily grown over the years as an alternative to centrally inserted central catheters and totally implantable catheters based on several advantages including avoidance of placement-associated mechanical complications, easier transitions from hospital to intermediate care settings and home, but also increase in healthcare expenditure, supportive reimbursement policies, and ability to train existing staff. Notwithstanding PICCs have been perceived for a long time as associated with fewer complications, reduced costs, and higher patients' satisfaction compared to other CVCs, recent evidence has raised concerns about their safety profile without any benefits for longer-term costs neither for patients' satisfaction. This commentary offers a comprehensive overview on PICC-related (1) complications, (2) costs, and (3) patients' satisfaction to help healthcare professionals in the choice of the vascular device during their clinical practice. Based on the most recent literature, we finally suggested that the choice of the CVC should depend on the clinical situation with totally implantable catheters being the preferred device for patients who need intermittent long-term and high-dose chemotherapy, while PICCs may be a better choice for patients who need short-term chemotherapy or continuous short-term supportive therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of a video-assisted education intervention on informed consent and patient education for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects on informed consent of video-assisted patient education and traditional face-to-face discussion in a catheter outpatient ward of a cancer centre in Guangzhou, China, in 2018. Participants were 140 patients randomly allocated (1:1 ratio) to two groups: video-assisted or traditional intervention. General information, patient retention of PICC-related information, working time spent by nurses on the procedure, and patient and nurse satisfaction with the procedure were assessed. RESULTS The time used for informed consent was significantly shorter in the experimental group (1.02 ± 0.24 minutes) than in the control group (6.87 ± 1.10 minutes). The time used for PICC-related education was significantly shorter in the experimental group (1.03 ± 0.28 minutes) than in the control group (5.11 ± 0.57 minutes). Nurses' degree of satisfaction with the procedure was significantly higher in the experimental group (4.10 ± 0.57) than in the control group (2.60 ± 0.70). CONCLUSION The use of video-assisted informed consent and patient education in this cancer centre decreased nurses' working time and improved nurses' satisfaction.Clinical trial registration number: ChiCTR1800015664.

ECO-SEOM-SEEO safety recommendations guideline for cancer patients receiving intravenous therapy. Clin Transl Oncol 2020; 22:2049-2060. [PMID: 32356275 PMCID: PMC7505883 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-020-02347-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2020] [Accepted: 03/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Cancer patients require implantation of venous access devices to meet their personalized therapeutic needs, which are often complex due to the nature of the medication and the disease status. Therefore, it is essential to have standardized protocols that guarantee the best results in health and patient safety. Methods To learn about the availability of protocols and aspects related to safety in clinical practice and to detect possible opportunities for improvement, a survey has been conducted in various Spanish hospitals, in addition to a review of the evidence regarding the various devices available and complications associated with the administration of chemotherapy. Results As a result of both analyses, the Foundation for Excellence and Quality in Oncology (ECO), the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM), and the Spanish Society of Oncology Nursing (SEEO) have developed a catheter selection algorithm based on patient characteristics and treatment to facilitate the clinical decision-making process, as well as some recommendations aimed at ensuring patient safety and rational use of available resources. Conclusions In conclusion, both the venous access catheter selection algorithm and the proposed recommendations aim to respond to the needs revealed in clinical practice and to become an integrable tool in electronic prescription systems to offer homogeneous criteria for action in cancer patients that require venous access, optimizing the use of available health resources with the highest safety and quality of life for the patient.
