Nursing Experience of Difficult Catheter Advancement During PICC Placement in a Patient with Pancreatic Malignancy
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a pancreatic malignancy patient who required multiple PICC placements and encountered difficulty in catheter advancement during right upper-arm PICC insertion. The patient had poor vascular conditions, resulting in significant resistance and failure to advance the catheter to the predetermined position. By analyzing the causes of difficult catheter advancement and implementing preventive measures—including adjusting the arm position during insertion—the procedure was ultimately completed successfully. This case provides clinical insights and recommendations to address similar challenges in PICC placement.
