Peripherally inserted central catheter (#PICC) is a kind of central venous catheter punctured by peripheral veins, such as the basilic vein, cubital median vein, cephalic vein. While providing convenient and effective venous access for patients, PICC can also cause some complications, among which #venous_thrombosis is the most serious. This study mainly evaluates the effect of various physical intervention methods for PICC venous thrombosis.
