Infusion port makes chemotherapy safer

  Chemotherapy makes many malignant tumor patients shy away from it but they have to accept the reality, after all, chemotherapy still plays an important role in malignant tumor treatment, and many patients have effectively controlled the development of malignant tumor and relieved their disease through chemotherapy, however, most chemotherapy drugs have serious irritation and corrosiveness, and the infusion of chemotherapy drugs is very irritating to human peripheral blood vessels, and once the chemotherapy drug exudates, it will cause serious skin necrosis. All chemotherapy patients will face a real problem: how to receive chemotherapy safely?  At present, the relatively common route of drug delivery in China is through PICC catheter, that is, a tube is inserted from the arm, the head end of the tube will be close to the heart, and the other end is exposed and wrapped with a film, which solves the problem of safe drug delivery. However, it has an impact on the patient’s quality of life. First, even when not doing chemotherapy, the tube has to be dragged outside, attracting strange looks from outsiders, and the patient must wrap the exposed catheter when bathing, and even then, he or she is also fearful when washing, second, the exposed catheter increases the risk of infection, and the place where the tube is inserted must be kept clean and dry, otherwise it will cause catheter or even Third, the limb on the side of the catheter needs to restrict the activity, otherwise it will cause the catheter to come out; fourth, the catheter enters through a very thin blood vessel and squeezes the lumen of the blood vessel for a long time, which can easily lead to venous thrombosis and swelling of the arm.  Imagine, in the hot summer, seeing others wearing short-sleeved tank tops, even swimming and bathing happily, while you can only watch from the poolside and prevent catheter dislodgement and infection, and in the cold winter, your family soaking in the hot spring pool, how comfortable, while you can only wear thick clothes waiting on the shore, have you ever thought that even in chemotherapy, you can enjoy this normal life with your family? Have you ever thought that even in chemotherapy you can enjoy this normal life with your family?  In fact, these problems have long been no longer a problem, in foreign countries have long been solved, a more advanced infusion access — intravenous infusion port, this catheter completely buried under the skin, the body does not show any tail, when using, the nurse will infusion needle into the skin can be chemotherapy, chemotherapy, pull out the needle, the skin only leaves a needle eye, a day later you can take a bath, swimming, soaking in the hot spring also does not matter. This greatly improves the quality of life of patients, makes chemotherapy safer and provides more security in the fight against cancer, and is favored by many patients.  Infusion port implantation is a minor outpatient surgery, which requires routine blood and coagulation tests before the surgery, and can be completed within half an hour.
