Abstract:
Objective To explore the application of ultrasound evaluation guidance in reducing the complications of radial artery puncture and catheterization.
Methods The clinical data of 200 critically ill patients who were admitted to ICU underwent radial artery puncture was analyzed retrospectively from January 2018 to October 2019. 100 cases with routine puncture in 2018 were selected as the control group,and 100 cases with ultrasound-guided puncture in 2019 were introduced as the observation group. A retrospective analysis was performed to compare the complications during radial artery puncture and catheterization between the two groups, as well as the patients' satisfaction with nursing.
Results The puncture success rate of the observation group (ultrasound-guided puncture group) was significantly higher than that of the control group, the incidence of complications was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the patients' satisfaction with nursing was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusions Ultrasound guidance can accurately assess the radial artery during puncture, accurately locate and guide the puncture, reduce the occurrence of complications, reduce pain, improve comfort and satisfaction of patients, improve the nurses' satisfaction and self-confidence, and make the operations more safer.
