Abstract

Background: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are central venous catheters inserted peripherally but terminate in great vessels. PICCs are widely used for patients requiring long-term intravenous therapy in both in-patient and out-patient settings.

Aim: This study was carried out to understand PICC-related complications, specifically infections and causal pathogens, in a tertiary care hospital in Kerala, South India.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of PICC insertions and follow-up during a 9 years period to look at patient demographics and infections related to PICC was carried out.

Results: The overall PICC-related complication rate is 28.1% (4.98 per 1000 PICC days). Commonest complication was thrombosis followed by infection, either PICC-associated bloodstream infection (PABSI) or local infection (LI). PABSI noted in this study was 1.34 per 1000 catheter days. The majority (85%) of PABSI were due to Gram-negative rods. The average duration of PICC days for occurrence of PABSI was 14 days and the majority occurred in in-patients.

Conclusion: Thrombosis and infection were the commonest PICC-related complications. PABSI rate was comparable to that of previous studies.

外周置入中心导管相关血流感染--发生率、风险因素和病原体，一项单中心研究。

背景：外周置入中心静脉导管（PICC）是一种外周置入但末端位于大血管内的中心静脉导管。目的：本研究旨在了解南印度喀拉拉邦一家三级医院中与 PICC 相关的并发症，特别是感染和致病病原体：方法：对 9 年间的 PICC 插入和随访情况进行回顾性分析，以了解患者的人口统计学特征以及与 PICC 相关的感染情况：结果：与 PICC 相关的总并发症发生率为 28.1%（每 1000 个 PICC 日中有 4.98 例）。最常见的并发症是血栓形成，其次是感染，即 PICC 相关血流感染 (PABSI) 或局部感染 (LI)。本研究发现，每 1000 个导管使用日中有 1.34 例 PABSI。大多数 PABSI（85%）是由革兰氏阴性杆菌引起的。发生 PABSI 的 PICC 天数平均为 14 天，大多数发生在住院病人身上：结论：血栓形成和感染是最常见的 PICC 相关并发症。结论：血栓和感染是最常见的 PICC 相关并发症，PABSI 发生率与之前的研究相当。
