Introduction: Many patients are discharged from hospital with a peripherally inserted central catheter in place. Monitoring the peripherally inserted central catheter insertion site for clinical and research purposes is important for identifying complications, but the extent to which patients can reliably report the condition of their catheter insertion site is uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the inter-observer agreement between nurses and patients when assessing a peripherally inserted central catheter site. Methods: The study was based on inpatients who were enrolled in a single-centre, randomised controlled trial comparing four different dressing and securement devices for peripherally inserted central catheter sites. A seven-item peripherally inserted central catheter site assessment tool, containing questions about the condition of the dressing and the insertion site, was developed. Assessment was conducted once by the research nurse and, within a few minutes, independently by the patient. Proportions of agreement and Cohen’s kappa were calculated. Results: In total, 73 patients agreed to participate. Overall, percentage agreement ranged from 83% to 100% (kappa = .65–.82). For important clinical signs (redness, swelling, ooze, pus and tracking), there were high levels of percentage agreement (99%–100%). Conclusion: The high level of agreement between nurse/patient pairs make the instrument useful for assessing peripherally inserted central catheter–associated signs of localised infection, allergic or irritant dermatitis or dressing dislodgement in a community setting.

Introduction: Obtaining central venous access is one of the most commonly performed procedures in cancer patients. However, there are very limited data to guide clinicians when selecting a device for metastatic colorectal cancer patients who received cetuximab. Case description: A 54-year-old male patient with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with cetuximab plus FOLFIRI used peripherally inserted central catheter as intravenous pathway. After eight cycles, the patient suffered cetuximab-induced grade 2 skin toxicity and grade 3 contact dermatitis at the peripherally inserted central catheter insertion site. Finally, he removed the peripherally inserted central catheter and accepted subcutaneous port instead for 2 years without implantation cutaneous complication. Conclusions: We suggest that metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with cetuximab should be recommended to choose subcutaneous port preferentially to avoid potential risk of unexpected peripherally inserted central catheter removal due to cetuximab-induced skin toxicity or contact dermatitis. Further clinical practices and researches are needed for more profound evidences for better practical suggestions.

Objetivo: Identificar o conhecimento dos enfermeiros quanto à inserção e manutenção do cateter central de inserção periférica em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal. Método: Estudo exploratório descritivo quantitativo realizado em um hospital pediátrico de referência em maio e junho de 2019. Análise dos dados por meio do programa SPSS (21.0). Resultados: Setenta e oito por cento dos enfermeiros receberam capacitação na instituição, 100,0% realizam lavagem do acesso com solução salina, pressão positiva e técnica pulsátil e todos consideram como pontos críticos o eritema, algia, secreção no local de inserção e obstrução do dispositivo. Conclusão: O papel do enfermeiro é fundamental na diligência com o cateter central de inserção periférica, atuando como educador da equipe de enfermagem para promover a qualificação e adesão aos protocolos institucionais continuamente.Descritores: Recém-nascido; Cateterismo venoso central; Unidades de terapia intensiva neonatal; Enfermagem neonatal.Peripherally inserted central catheter: nursing practices in neonatal intensive careObjective: To identify nursing knowledge regarding the insertion and maintenance of the peripherally inserted central catheter in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Method: Exploratory descriptive quantitative study carried out in a pediatric reference hospital in May and June 2019. Data analysis using the SPSS program (21.0). Results: Seventy-eight percent of nurses received training at the institution, 100.0% performed access flushing with saline, positive pressure and pulsating technique and all considered as critical points erythema, pain, secretion at the insertion site and obstruction of the device. Conclusion: The role of the nurse is fundamental in the diligence with the peripherally inserted central catheter, acting as an educator of the nursing team to promote qualification and adherence to institutional protocols continuously.Descriptors: Newborn; Central venous catheterization; Neonatal intensive care units; Neonatal nursing.Catéter central insertado periféricamente: prácticas de enfermería en cuidados intensivos neonatalesObjetivo: identificar el conocimiento de las enfermeras sobre la inserción y el mantenimiento del catéter central insertado periféricamente en una unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the effect of Chahuang ointment, a Chinese herbal ointment, on the prevention of phlebitis in patients with peripherally inserted central catheters. Method: This was a multicenter randomized controlled trial, with 171 eligible patients randomly assigned into one of three groups: the Chahuang ointment group, the Mucopolysaccharide Polysulfate cream group, and the control group. The degrees of vein injuries at 72 hours after peripherally inserted central catheter insertion were the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were the vascular wall thickness, tissue edema and microthrombus evaluated by Color Doppler Flow Imaging, the vascular endothelial growth factor, and endothelin-1 (ET-1) expression in vivo. Results: Compared with the control group, the Chahuang ointment group showed significantly lower incidence of postoperative phlebitis, tissue edema, and microthrombus at 72 hours after peripherally inserted central catheter insertion (all P<0.01). The VEGF and ET-1 expression were significantly inhibited in the Chahuang ointment group after 3 days of treatment (both P<0.01). There were no statistical differences in the degree of vein injuries, microthrombus, or tissue edema between the Chahuang ointment and mucopolysaccharide polysulfate groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Chahuang ointment was shown to provide effective prevention and protection against phlebitis after peripherally inserted central catheter insertion.
