Multifactor Analysis of Malposition of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters in Patients With Cancer

Abstract: Of 2,084 patients with PICCs, 170 cases (8%) of malposition occurred. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk of adverse events from malposition was higher in the right upper limb than in the left upper limb. The highest risk from malposition was cephalic vein puncture, followed by brachial vein puncture. The risk in the lower part of the elbow joint was higher than that in the upper part of the elbow joint. During PICC insertion, the left upper limb and upper part of the elbow joi… Show more

“…However, a study by Minkovich et al showed that a left-sided approach might be more suitable because it produced a lower incidence of malposition 21. Another multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk of adverse events related to malposition was higher when the catheter was inserted in the right than in the left upper limb 22. However, in our study, we found that the side of insertion had no influence on the movement of the tip location.…”

“…Basilic vein is the major vein of choice for catheterization in this study, because the risk of PICC-related complications in patients with basilic vein is lower than other veins. 30…”

“…Previous studies have identified risk factors for complications of PICCs in neonates. These risk factors included young age, severity of illness, catheter dwell time, catheter tip position, and catheter insertion site [ 8 , 10 14 ], but reports in Chinese neonates are rare. Identifying modifiable risk factors of complications is especially important as clinicians work to prevent catheter complications.…”
