Abstract
This study aimed to explore an effective nursing plan for peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement guided by endocardial electrocardiogram (ECG) positioning technology and to analyze related nursing problems and countermeasures. A total of 96 patients who underwent PICC placement using ECG-guided positioning technology in our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 48) and a control group (n = 48) using a random number table. The control group received routine basic nursing care, while the experimental group was provided with comprehensive high-quality nursing care. The results showed that the success rate of one-time catheter placement was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05), while the incidence of complications was notably lower in the experimental group (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that comprehensive high-quality nursing care during PICC placement guided by ECG positioning technology can effectively enhance the success rate of catheter placement and reduce complications, indicating that this nursing approach is valuable for clinical promotion and application.
