Objective To compare the clinical nursing effect of peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) versus totally implantable venous-access ports (TIVAP) in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.
Methods A total of 82 patients with breast cancer treated by chemotherapy in our hospital were randomly divided into PICC group and TIVAP group, with 41 cases in each group. The two groups were given corresponding nursing measures. Anxiety, depression and clinical efficacy were analyzed.
Results The success rate of catheterization in the two groups was 100%, but PICC group had more complications. Before treatment, the total anxiety and depression scores in two groups showed no significant differences (P>0.05), were lower after treatment than treatment before, and TIVAP group decreased more significantly than PICC group after treatment(P < 0.05).
Conclusion TIVAP and PICC in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy can ensure the smooth implementation of treatment, effectively control the anxiety and depression of patients, and TIVAP has better treatment efficacy than PICC.
