Handgrip Exercise Reduces Peripherally-inserted Central Catheter-related Venous Thrombosis in Patients with Solid Cancers: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Peripherally-inserted central catheter-related venous thrombosis has serious complications including the loss of vascular access, recurrent venous thrombosis, and post-thrombotic syndrome. Current guidelines recommend non-pharmacological strategies to prevent peripherally-inserted central catheter-related venous thrombosis. There is little evidence for the effectiveness of handgrip exercise on the prevention of peripherally-inserted central catheter-related venous thrombosis.
