For cancer patients, repeated venipuncture during chemotherapy can cause pain, and irritating drugs may also cause damage to the veins, so what can reduce the pain of the patient and protect the veins?Yes, that's the port. An infusion port, also known as a port in clinical practice, is a professional infusion device that is inserted into the body to reduce the irritation of the patient's blood vessels by drugs.
The port is divided into three parts: an injection site buried under the skin (port seat), a catheter implanted into the large blood vessels of the human body through the subclavian or internal jugular vein, and a butterfly wing non-damage needle connected to the port seat externally. Among them, the injection seat is connected to a catheter inserted into the subclavian vein or internal jugular vein, forming a long-term vascular access and playing a port-like role, so it is called an "infusion port".
It is like the size of a button, which is inserted into the body through minimally invasive surgery, which can effectively solve the problems of "no blood vessels to tie" and long-term indwelling complications of infusion catheter indwelling and aesthetic damage caused by repeated venipuncture and continuous infusion of strong stimulating drugs, and can build a smooth "lifeline" for patients.
Ms. Du, who lives in Ningyang, was hospitalized in the Department of General Surgery due to breast cancer**, and her family was very worried about the long-term peripheral intravenous infusion of chemotherapy, corrosive drugs, and high-concentration, hyperosmolar and highly irritating drugs, resulting in serious venous vascular damage to the patient, and there was no suitable location for long-term infusion.
Ms. Du, who lives in Ningyang, was hospitalized in the Department of General Surgery due to breast cancer**, and her family was very worried about the long-term peripheral intravenous infusion of chemotherapy, corrosive drugs, and high-concentration, hyperosmolar and highly irritating drugs, resulting in serious venous vascular damage to the patient, and there was no suitable location for long-term infusion.
Liu Wei, deputy director and deputy chief physician of the Department of General Surgery, learned about the concerns of the patient's family from the exchange, conducted a comprehensive assessment of Ms. Du's condition, and recommended "chest wall intravenous port implantation", which can effectively solve the long-term infusion problem.
After Liu Wei explained the advantages of the intravenous port to Ms. Du and her family in detail, they unanimously agreed on the ** plan, and the operation was quickly put on the agenda.
After completing the relevant examinations, Liu Wei's surgical team, with the assistance of the medical staff of the anesthesiology department and the operating room, used ultrasound guidance to insert the catheter into the chest wall vein, and accurately reached the superior vena cava at the tip of the catheter, placed the capsular bag below the puncture point, and connected the catheter with the port seat through the established tunnel for the embedding and suturing of the port body.
In less than half an hour, the operation was successfully completed. After the operation, Ms. Du moved freely, protected her privacy, aesthetics, and was not restricted, which effectively improved her quality of life.
After installing the intravenous infusion port, I no longer have to worry about being punctured every day, and I don't have to be careful and afraid to sleep in order to protect the indwelling needle and infusion catheter, and I can sleep and live like ordinary people, this infusion device is so good!Ms. Du said when she was discharged from the hospital.
At present, the development of this technology has solved the problem of long-term intravenous access infusion for specific patients, and opened a long-term, comfortable and safe "lifeline". (Popular news client reporter Liu Tao correspondent Yang Kangning reports).
