Objective To explore the nursing value of mini midline catheter in intravenous treatment of patients with advanced tumors. Methods A total of 200 patients with advanced tumors who underwent intravenous treatment in our hospital within 3 years (January 2021-December 2023) were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received intravenous treatment with a peripheral indwelling needle, and the study group received intravenous treatment with a mini midline catheter under ultrasound guidance. The treatment conditions of the two groups were compared. Results The catheter indwelling conditions (one-time catheterization success rate, average catheterization time per time, number of punctures during treatment, and degree of puncture pain) of the study group were better than those of the control group, and the results were compared P < 0.05; The incidence of catheter-related complications in the study group was lower than that in the control group, with a P<0.05. Conclusion Mini midline catheter has a good application effect in the intravenous treatment of patients with advanced tumors. It has a high one-time catheterization success rate, a long retention time, and is safe and reliable, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
