Nursing Experience of Acupoint Massage Combined with Emotional Care in Improving PICC Catheterization Difficulty: A Case Report
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a case involving acupoint massage and emotional care to address PICC catheterization difficulty. Based on comprehensive nursing assessment, acupoint massage was applied before catheterization to stimulate specific points, combined with emotional support and health guidance to alleviate patient anxiety. Adjustments to the catheterization posture further reduced discomfort and shortened the procedure time for difficult cases. After 46 days of meticulous care, the patient showed significant improvement and was discharged.
