The Significance of PowerPICC Double Lumen in Clinical Practice

In the field of medicine, the maintenance of double lumen power injectable peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) is crucial to ensure patient comfort and reduce the incidence of complications. Recently, a study published its findings on the application of '3Y' shape Multipore tape combined with transparent dressing in the maintenance of double lumen PowerPICC.

The results showed that the incidence of complication was significantly lower in the experimental group (1.3%, 1/75) compared to the control group (9.3%, 7/75). Furthermore, the study found that the '3Y' shape Multipore tape combined with transparent dressing reduced the incidence of catheter migration and related complications.

The study aimed to explore whether dual-lumen power injectable peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) could be effectively and safely applied in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and for serum cyclosporine level monitoring. To achieve this goal, 150 patients were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups.

The endpoints of the study included the time for dressing change, incidence of catheter migration, incidence of dressing rolling or loosing, and PICC-related complications. The results showed that the experimental group had a longer time for dressing change (13.14±0.23 min) compared to the control group (12.99±0.24 min). However, the incidence of catheter migration was significantly lower in the experimental group (5.3%, 4/75) compared to the control group (18.7%, 14/75).

In conclusion, the study suggests that the '3Y' shape Multipore tape combined with transparent dressing is a valuable approach for maintaining double lumen PowerPICC and reducing complications. This method can improve patient comfort and reduce the incidence of catheter migration and related complications.

It is important to note that only lumens marked as Power Injectable should be used for power injection of contrast media. When maintaining PICC, the '3Y' shape Multipore tape combined with transparent dressing were used for experimental group, while traditional method were used for control group. The study highlights the importance of using effective methods to maintain double lumen PowerPICC and improve patient outcomes.
