ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and nursing strategy of Comfeel transparent paste in treating peripheral inserted central catheter (PICC)-associated allergic dermatitis. MethodsSixty patients with PICC puncture-associated local allergic dermatitis treated between June 2011 and March 2013 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 30 patients in each group. The experimental group was treated with dexamethasone sodium phosphate and Comfeel transparent paste, while the control group was treated with dexamethasone sodium phosphate and 3M transparent dressing. The curative effect was compared between the two methods. ResultsTwelve patients were cured with a curing rate of 40.0% in the control group and 22 patients were cured, and the curing rate was 73.3% in the experimental group. The difference between them was significant (P<0.05). ConclusionTreatment with dexamethasone sodium phosphate and Comfeel transparent paste for PICC-associated allergic dermatitis is quite effective, and the patients felt comfortable with low pains. In addition, it reduces the extubation rate of PICC and improves the care quality.
