Abstract

Background: Deep vein catheterization is common in patients with advanced cancer, but safety and cost comparisons between catheter types are limited.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and economic impact of a modified medium-length catheter versus a standard peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line in patients with advanced cancer.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted involving 160 patients with advanced cancer receiving palliative care between January 2022 and April 2024. Patients were randomized to a study group (modified medium-length catheter) or control group (PICC line). Venous complications, satisfaction, and costs were compared.

Results: The study group had lower rates of venous thrombosis, bleeding, and catheter infection. Patient satisfaction and costs were also significantly better in the study group.

Conclusions: The modified medium-length catheter provides better safety, higher satisfaction, and reduced costs, making it a preferred option for patients with advanced cancer.

改良中长度导管在晚期癌症患者中的安全性和成本评估：一项随机对照试验。

背景：深静脉置管在晚期癌症患者中很常见，但不同导管类型的安全性和成本比较有限。目的：评估改良中长度导管与标准外周插入中心导管（PICC）线在晚期癌症患者中的安全性和经济性影响。方法：对2022年1月至2024年4月期间接受姑息治疗的160例晚期癌症患者进行前瞻性队列研究。患者被随机分为研究组（改良中长度导管）或对照组（PICC线）。比较静脉并发症、满意度和费用。结果：研究组静脉血栓、出血、导管感染发生率较低。研究组的患者满意度和费用也明显更好。结论：改良中长导管安全性更高，满意度更高，成本更低，是晚期癌症患者的首选导管。
