## Body

## 1. Introduction

In recent years, due to the gradual development of neonatal medicine and the special nature of its age, neonatal nursing has become an important discipline in the field of Pediatrics. Because newborns belong to a special group, their physical and physiological functions are not perfect, and there are many kinds of diseases of newborns. Puncture is required for the treatment of many diseases, which will bring great pain to newborns. Neonatal PICC nursing is a new catheter indwelling technology, which can effectively reduce the number of puncture and alleviate the pain of newborns [1]. Therefore, PICC nursing is very important in neonatal nursing. Firstly, this paper analyzes the advantages of PICC in clinical application and analyzes and studies the construction of neonatal PICC nursing quality evaluation system.Medical PICC refers to the central venous tube through peripheral vein puncture and to the central venous catheter (peripherally inserted central venous catheters abbreviated PICC) inserted through the peripheral vein, PICC tube is usually in the patient’s important vein, the middle elbow vein, and the head vein, and the tip is located in the superior vena cava or subclalavicular vein. Peripheral central venous catheter is a new technology appeared in recent years, through peripheral vein puncture into the central venous catheter, makes the head end to the lower or the upper vena and right atrium junction and the catheter near the heart, and avoids direct contact between chemotherapy drugs and arm vein, and plus large vein blood flow speed is fast, can quickly dilute treatment drugs, prevent the stimulation of blood vessels, and can establish long-term stable venous pathway for neonatal patients and critical patients [2]. In addition, due to the large selection of blood vessels at the puncture point of placing central venous catheter in the peripheral vein, the puncture success rate is higher, the wound trauma is small, the patient has less chance of infection, and the clinical nursing is easier.Chen et al. (2021) analyzed the correlation between the change of PICC tip position and the growth of body mass in very low birth weight infants. In the introduction of PICC nursing technology, they believed that the puncture success rate of neonatal PICC nursing was high, the activities of limbs at the puncture site were unrestricted, the pain caused to patients by repeated venous puncture was reduced, and more convenience was provided for the treatment of neonatal diseases [3]. Gao et al. (2021) in a randomized controlled study on the frequency and safety of dressing replacement for peripheral central venous catheterization in preterm infants, it was explained that the catheter material for PICC care was made of special polyurethane, which had good tissue compliance and compatibility. The catheter was very soft and should not be broken. It was more tenacious, and the risk of catheter rupture was low. It could be retained in the body for up to 6 months to 1 year. The patients after catheterization are basically not affected, and the total incidence of complications such as tube blockage, infection, infusion leakage, and phlebitis is relatively low [4]. Wen et al. (2021). In the application effect of neonatal PICC nursing, it is said that neonatal PICC nursing has significantly improved the success rate of clinical primary puncture, reduced the incidence of thrombosis and unplanned extubation, effectively reduced the incidence of risk events during puncture, and improved the nursing satisfaction of neonatal parents and the quality of life of newborns. Targeted nursing is applied to children undergoing PICC to increase venous blood flow velocity and promote rehabilitation [5, 6].In order to better study the professional nursing behavior of PICC and reasonably evaluate the nursing level of PICC, in this study, a total of 100 neonatal patients admitted to the Pediatric Medical Intensive Care Unit of the People’s Hospital in Laizhou City of Shandong Province between January 2015 and December 2018 were selected for nursing intervention, they were randomly divided into 50 cases in the observation group and 50 cases in the reference group, the observation group included 50 neonates who received and completed PICC catheterization care, and the reference group included 50 neonates who received conventional puncture care. PICC nursing quality evaluation index system and nursing quality standard were applied, and questionnaire survey and patient satisfaction survey were conducted in the treatment. The two groups were compared for the success rate of one puncture, catheter detachment, treatment of local bleeding, incidence of nursing risk during other treatment, and other related nursing quality results. This study conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis from the aspects of clinical medical data, treatment process analysis, nursing quality level, patient family satisfaction survey, and a reasonable and scientific application of PICC nursing quality evaluation system, so as to better provide an effective method and basis for neonatal PICC care.


## 2. Data and Methods

### 2.1. Clinical Data

From January 2015 to December 2018, 100 newborn patients who completed hospitalization in the Pediatric Medical Intensive Care Unit of the People’s Hospital in Laizhou City of Shandong Province were selected as the analysis and research objects. They were randomly divided into the observation group and reference group. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) newborns aged 0 ~ 90 days; (2) there were no other complications such as infection before catheterization; and (3) no contraindications of PICC catheterization, including coagulation dysfunction, and patients in critical condition who cannot tolerate PICC puncture. Exclusion criteria are as follows: (1) infection before catheterization and (2) children cannot have PICC catheterization and other related contraindications. All child guardians had informed consent. Among them, the analysis results of the treatment proportion of neonatal patients admitted to our hospital in two years are shown in Figure1 below:Figure 1
Visual diagram of proportion results of neonatal treatment analysis.In Figure1, it can be seen that the proportion of neonatal patients hospitalized is significantly higher than that of other elderly patients and children. This is because newborns have weak physique and poor resistance, are very easy to infect various diseases, and need to be hospitalized frequently. Therefore, research on improving neonatal PICC nursing quality has become the core part of neonatal nursing management. Nursing quality management is to scientifically evaluate the current nursing quality and effectively construct the neonatal nursing quality evaluation index system, so as to provide a scientific research basis for the establishment of neonatal PICC nursing quality data throughout the country in the future.


### 2.2. Grouping and Methods

50 cases in the observation group were neonatal patients who received and completed PICC catheterization nursing, and 50 cases in the reference group were neonatal patients who were treated with traditional routine puncture nursing. They were divided into phase I, phase II, and phase III according to the severity of neonatal patients. The success rate of one puncture, puncture time, and nursing risk incidence during catheterization was comprehensively compared between the two groups. Parents’ nursing satisfaction was compared.Methods of the reference group: (1) strictly implement hygienic standards and aseptic operation; (2) disinfect the puncture site and the skin of the puncture site alternately in the opposite direction with the puncture point as the center for 6 times; (3) After confirming the successful puncture, fix the puncture point with sterile application and properly connect the infusion tube; (4) the infusion joint shall be strictly disinfected for more than 15 s; (5) keep local parts clean and dry and do not touch water or make large actions during the period of taking the pipe; and (6) during catheterization, closely observe the puncture point and surrounding symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and exudation, as well as the situation of children. In case of any abnormality, immediately pull out the tube for examination and monitor the culture of the catheter and surrounding blood samples.Methods of the observation group: (1) Long-term intravenous infusion is required. It is estimated that intravenous infusion will be difficult, especially newborns and young infants. (2) Before use, inject 5-10 ml normal saline to confirm that the catheter is unobstructed. If there is no special need, do not withdraw blood to avoid catheter blockage. (3) Rapid infusion is required when the speed reaches 300~500 ml/h and (4) those who need continuous deep intravenous administration or monitoring, such as complete parenteral nutrition (TPN), when the glucose concentration is >12.5%. (5) After infusion or two interruptions, the tube shall be sealed with heparin solution with a concentration of 1-10μ/ml, and the residual solution and blood in the catheter shall be flushed into the blood vessel. For continuous infusion, the tube shall be sealed with heparin solution once in q12h to maintain the patency of the catheter. (6) It is forbidden to use syringes less than 10 ml for flushing and administration. Violent flushing is not allowed to avoid damaging the catheter. (7) Before intravenous infusion and tube sealing, use andofu cotton swab to disinfect the positive pressure joint for 2-3 times and wipe it with a little force. (8) After each infusion, flush the catheter with 5-10 ml normal saline in a pulsed manner. (9) Observe the infusion speed frequently. If the flow rate is significantly reduced, find out the cause in time and deal with it properly. Use thrombolytic treatment when necessary. (9) Observe the arm on the puncture side every day to timely find out whether there is edema and phlebitis and find and solve it early.


### 2.3. Statistical Methods

The construction and analysis of neonatal PICC nursing quality evaluation system: the statistical bivariatet-test method was used to compare the differences between patient data. Among them, value is the t value. When t<10.000, it is considered that there is a statistical difference. The smaller the t value, the greater the statistical difference. Log value is the p value. When p<0.05, it is considered to have statistical reliability, and when p<0.01, it is considered to have statistical significance. The calculation formula of t value is as follows (1):
(1)tValue=∑i=1nxi−x~i∑i=1nxi−x¯.Among them,tValue output results for t value, xi is the i-th statistical value in the statistical series X, x~i is the control value after regression, and x¯ is the arithmetic mean of statistical sequence x.The calculation formula of mean and standard deviation is shown in formula (1):
(2)σ=1n−1∑i=1nxi−μ2,μ=1n∑i=1nxi.Among them,σ is the standard deviation, x¯ is the arithmetic mean of statistical sequence x, n is the number of statistical samples, and xi is the i-th statistical value in the statistical series X.

## 4. Discussion

The above analysis and research show that due to the particularity of neonatal patients, blind puncture by nurses often occurs in the traditional routine puncture nursing process, resulting in inaccurate puncture, reduced success rate, increased neonatal physical injury and patients’ fear, and easy to cause risks such as bleeding at the puncture point and accidental injury of arteries by pneumothorax, which may pose a threat to the life safety of children. It is easy to cause medical correction [7].The application of PICC nursing technology just makes up for the shortcomings of traditional routine nursing. This nursing technology can effectively reduce the pain of frequent venipuncture in children. At the same time, PICC indwelling time is relatively long, which can better meet the renewal of intravenous infusion and other treatment for children [8]. Different from other methods, PICC technology has very good stability. After successful indwelling, it is not easy to get out of the body, will not be affected by body position and liquid flow rate, and has little damage to patients’ blood vessels. It can well protect patients’ peripheral veins, reduce the pain of newborns, and further solve the problem of neonatal infusion difficulties. Therefore, although there will be related complications in the practical application of PICC nursing, it can still be effectively treated. Finally, it is considered that the introduction of PICC nursing treatment in neonatal nursing has high clinical application value [9].In conclusion, the research on the construction of neonatal PICC nursing quality evaluation system has confirmed that the construction and application of neonatal PICC nursing quality evaluation system has good clinical effect, effectively avoids the incidence of risk events during catheterization in neonatal PICC nursing, and can significantly improve the success rate of clinical primary puncture. It effectively improves the nursing satisfaction of neonatal parents and the quality of life of newborns, promotes the development of doctor-patient relationship, effectively ensures the application effect of neonatal PICC nursing quality, plays an important medical role, and is worthy of clinical promotion.


## 5. Summary

From the above research, the application of the neonatal PICC nursing quality evaluation system improves the success rate, reduces the pain of the newborn, and improves nursing quality evaluation system, and scientific and reasonable for hospital PICC nursing provides effective method and basis and plays an important role in the development of pediatrics, worth clinical promotion, but PICC nursing in practice will have related complications and affect the treatment of children. In order to further increase the guidance and management of PICC operation for neonatal medical staff, prevent the occurrence of related complications and ensure the safety of children.
