Abstract

High rates of infection are reported in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN). The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of the support of a competent home infusion nurse on catheter-related infection rates among patients receiving HPN as well as to investigate the effect of HPN on quality of life (QOL). Seventeen HPN patients older than 18 years were visited twice weekly by a competent home infusion nurse, and QOL tests were performed over a 2-year period. The patients were evaluated regularly for signs of catheter-related infections and other complications. The catheter infection rate was found to be 1.23 per 1000 catheter-days, and QOL scores remained stable. Involvement of an experienced nurse may help implement HPN with low catheter-related infection rates.

由合格的家庭输液护士对接受家庭肠外营养的患者进行随访可降低导管感染的患病率

据报道，接受家庭胃肠外营养（HPN）的患者感染率很高。本研究的目的是调查合格的家庭输液护士的支持对接受HPN的患者导管相关感染率的影响，以及HPN对生活质量（QOL）的影响。17名18岁以上的HPN患者由一名称职的家庭输液护士每周两次就诊，并在2年内进行生活质量测试。定期对患者进行导管相关感染和其他并发症的体征评估。导管感染率为1.23/1000导管日，生活质量评分保持稳定。经验丰富的护士参与可能有助于在导管相关感染率较低的情况下实施HPN。
