ABSTRACT:
Objective: The study aims to compare the application value of midline catheter and
indwelling needle in patients with oral cavity malignancies during
perioperative period. Methods: 146 patients with oral cavity
malignancies admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to July 2021 were
selected as the research subjects. 73 patients treated with midline catheters
during the treatment were the experimental group, and another 73 patients were treated
with indwelling needles as the control group. The indwelling time, total number
of puncturing times, and incidence of adverse reactions of two catheterization
methods were compared between the two groups. Meanwhile, each patient was
investigated for treatment satisfaction. Result: The indwelling time was
significantly longer in the experimental group than in the control group (P
2 =
4.960, P = 0.0259) was significantly lower than that in the control group in
terms of catheter occlusion (χ2 = 12.56, P = 0.0004), catheter
detachment (χ2 = 8.46, P = 0.0036), drug extravasation (χ2 = 3.27, P = 0.0011), phlebitis (χ2 = 3.62, P = 0.0003), and bleeding
from the puncture point (χ2 = 14.98, P = 0.0001). The satisfaction
rate (χ2 = 33.45, P 2 = 16.57, P those in the
control group, while the dissatisfaction rate was significantly lower than that in the control group (χ2 = 11.38, P = 0.0007). The
difference is statistically significant. Conclusion: Compared with
indwelling needle, the application of midline catheters in patients with oral
cavity malignancies during perioperative period can effectively reduce the
number of puncturing times and the incidence of catheter-related adverse
reactions, with a high satisfaction rate, which is worthy of clinical promotion
and application.
