Objective This study aims to evaluate the impact of a risk warning and hierarchical management approach on the maintenance quality of infusion ports in patients undergoing tumor chemotherapy. Methods A total of 120 patients with implanted infusion ports for chemotherapy, admitted to a municipal hospital between February 2021 and February 2023, were enrolled in this study. Using the envelope method, patients were randomly assigned into a control group and an observation group, with 60 cases in each. The control group received standard routine nursing care for infusion port maintenance, while the observation group received additional hierarchical management based on risk warning principles. Clinical nursing indicators of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results The observation group showed significantly better outcomes in terms of infusion port care knowledge and treatment compliance compared to the control group (p < 0.01). Conclusion Implementing a risk warning and hierarchical management model can significantly enhance the quality of infusion port maintenance in tumor chemotherapy patients. This approach effectively reduces the incidence of port-related thrombosis, improves patients’ awareness, satisfaction, and compliance, and is worthy of broader clinical application.
