Abstract:
Objective
To observe effects of pressing XinRenYingXue on the prevention of vascular spasm in patients with peripheral inserted central catheter（PICC）.
Methods
A total of 179 patients who selected from Weihai Municipcal Hospital ranging from May to December 2013 and met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into observation group（n=90）and control group（n=89）.During catheterization，observation group were pressed on their XinRenYingXue，while control group were only given more communication.Catheterization pain score was analyzed with t-test，and vascular spasm incidence rate and phlebitis incidence rate were analyzed withχ2 test.P＜0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Results
The vascular spasm incidence rate was（13.3%，12/90）in observation group，which was significantly lower than that of control group（28.1%，25/89，χ2=5.94，P＜0.05）.The phlebitis incidence rate was（4.4%，4/90）in observation group，which was significantly lower than that of control group（16.9%，15/89，χ2=7.26，P＜0.05）.The pain score was（4.81±1.24）in observation group，which was significantly lower than that of control group（13.64±1.52，t=42.61，P＜0.01）.
Conclusion
Results suggest that pressing XinRenYingXue can effectively prevent vascular spasm，reduce pain and decrease phlebitis incidence rate in PICCpatients.
