Objective To investigate the application effect of peripheral medium length catheter in neurosurgical patients.
Methods A total of 88 patients were randomly selected, and were randomly divided into peripherally inserted central catheter group (PICC group) with 44 cases and medium length catheter group(midline group)with 44 cases. The PICC group had one patient missed.
Results There was no statistically differences between the indwelling time of tubes in two groups(P>0.05), and the overall complication rate of the Midline group was significantly lower than that of PICC group(P < 0.05).
Conclusion Medium length catheter can effectively reduce the complication rate of neurosurgical inpatients.
