Abstract

Objective: To analyze the risk factors and preventive measures of catheter slippage in surgical nursing. Methods: 68 surgical nursing patients were selected for data analysis in our hospital from July 2024 to June 2025. They were divided into two groups using the random number table method, with 34 cases in each group. The experimental group applied routine nursing, risk factor assessment, and predictive nursing intervention, while the control group applied routine nursing. The data differences between the groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the incidence rate of catheter slippage in the experimental group was significantly lower, and the average hospitalization time was significantly shorter, P < 0.05. The risk factors for catheter slippage in surgical care were statistically analyzed, specifically 5 cases of impaired consciousness and agitation, 2 cases of improper catheter fixation, and 1 case of patient/family non-cooperation. Conclusion: The risk factors for catheter slippage in surgical nursing were clarified, and predictive nursing intervention measures were formulated and applied to achieve ideal application results.
