摘要
<strong>Objective:</strong> To evaluate the effect of physical methods on the prevention of venous thrombosis in patients with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). <strong>Methods:</strong> Randomized controlled trials meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were retrieved from the following databases: Cochrane library, Pubmed, EMbase, Web of science, Ovid, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, then Review Manage (RevMan) 5.3 software was used for data analysis. <strong>Results:</strong> A total of 24 RCTs including 3496 patients were analyzed in the study. The results of meta-analysis showed that various forms of upper limb movements could effectively decrease the incidence of venous thrombosis in the patients with PICC [<em>RR</em> = 0.23, 95% <em>CI</em> (0.16, 0.33), <em>P</em> < 0.01], upper limb movements could effectively improve the mean blood flow velocity of basilic vein [<em>MD</em> = 1.65, 95% <em>CI</em> (1.19, 2.11), <em>P</em> < 0.01]. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Upper limb movements can effectively decrease the incidence of phlebothrombosis and improve the mean flow velocity of basilic vein in the patients undergoing PICC. Other forms of physical prevention methods need to be further studied due to insufficient sample size.
