Tumor patients have long course of disease, serious illness, long treatment period, and poor vascular conditions, which is prone to phlebitis, drug extravasation and other dangerous situations. The establishment and maintenance of venous access is called the lifeline of patients. In order to alleviate the patient's pain and achieve the effect of "one needle to complete the treatment", our hospital started the deep vein catheterization technology in the early 1990s, and now has formed a professional intravenous treatment nursing team. In February 2010, the PICC maintenance specialist nursing clinic was established. In May 2012, the PICC placement specialized nursing clinic was established.
