Analysis of the effect of infection prevention nursing on drainage of malignant pleural effusion with indwelling central venous catheter.

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the effect of infection prevention care on the drainage of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) by indwelling Central venous catheterization (CVC).

Methods: From January 2016 to January 2018, 128 patients at our hospital who needed indwelling CVC for drainage of MPE were randomly divided into an infection prevention group and a conventional group. The corresponding nursing plan was given to compare the 2 groups in several measures, including nursing effect and complications.
