To evaluate the clinical effect of tunneled PICC by comparing the rate of complications of the two groups of patients (tunneled PICC vs conventional PICC).
In this study, tunneled PICC was compared with conventional PICC. Eligible subjects were randomly enrolled into the test group or control group by randomization (1:1), and observed and evaluated the occurrence of complications during and 7 ± 3 days, 30 ± 7 days, 60 ± 10 days, 90 ± 10 days, 120 ± 10 days (if any) after surgery and extubation at the end of treatment.

PICC catheter is inserted into the superior vena cava through the upper brachial vein by establishing a subcutaneous tunnel
rate of PICC complications
Including bleeding, subcutaneous congestion, lymphatic exudation, phlebitis (mechanical phlebitis, thrombophlebitis), infection (local infection, tunnel infection, catheter related blood flow infection), thrombus (symptomatic thrombus, asymptomatic thrombus), catheter ectopic, medical adhesive related skin damage, catheter damage and blockage, etc
Time frame: 120 days
time of PICC insertion
Time from the start of skin disinfection to the end of dressing fixation
Time frame: 1 hour
Success rate of catheterization
Judgment of successful catheterization: The catheterization is successful and the catheter is placed in an accurate position, that is, the tip of the catheter reaches within 1/3 of the lower part of the superior vena cava or near the junction of the right atrium.
Time frame: 1 hour
score of operation pain
Wong Banker facial expression scale was used. This method uses 6 facial expressions from smile to cry to express the degree of pain: 0 points for no pain, 1 point for slight pain, 2 points for some pain, 3 points for very pain, 4 points for severe pain, and 5 points for unbearable pain
Time frame: 1 hour
rate of unplanned extubation
Extubation after abnormal treatment
Time frame: 120 days
rate of difficulty in decannulation
Probability of failure to pull out PICC due to vasospasm, adhesion with thrombus, wrapping of fibrin sheath, etc
Time frame: 120 days
