Examining the Frequency of Port Catheter Complications and the Duration of Its Performance Associated with the Length of the Catheter in Patients with Port Placement

Background and Aim: Considering that the use of port catheters in long-term treatments quality life (QoL) patients with special conditions, including children, is particularly important, we decided to investigate effect length catheter on duration its performance children. Materials Methods: All files referred Surgery Department Hazrat Masoumeh (PBUH) hospital, who underwent catheterization, were examined by observing inclusion exclusion criteria. The criteria included aged 14 years or younger proven acute leukemia need for intravenous access, survival more than one week at time patient’s entry into study, undergoing aggressive chemotherapy. any contraindication surgery local anesthesia, sensitivity lidocaine anesthetics, evidence using a subcutaneous catheter, clinical superior vena cava syndrome, mass anatomical anomaly. A pediatric surgeon performed all ports. In last stage, information related research was extracted from existing these analyzed SPSS software, version 22. Results: this infection rate 4(3.3%), bacteremia 5(4.2%), thrombosis 13(10.8%). No statistically significant relationship observed between frequency complications (infection, bacteremia, thrombosis) gender length. Furthermore, it found increase port, also increased, significant. Conclusion: correct way how take care during treatment should be optimally done.
