Abstract
Abstract: Central venous catheterization may cause the thrombosis in patients. The present study conducted to evaluate the peripherally inserted central venous catheter associated deep venous thrombosis in burns patients. Total 130 patients were included in this study. These patients had three different types of burns. Patients were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the patients’ demographic data and clinical data were collected. The data was analysed by Chi-square test and p value less than 0.05 considered statistically significant. Males were more compared to females. The mean age of study population is 31.92 years. 31.32 is the mean burns percentage of study population. More had right femoral artery PICC. 12.8 days is mean line indwelling time in study population? Only 6 patients were developed PRLVT.The study results concluded that PRLVT is not uncommon in patients with different types of burns. Further studies are required for better evaluation of relationship between PRLVT in the burns patients. Keywords:Burns, catheterization, artery, femoral vein, embolism, thrombosis
