Abstract：Objective To summarize the experience of application of catheter slippage risk assessment
in hepatobiliary surgery. Methods The classification and risk factors of catheter slippage patients with
hepatobiliary and splenic operations in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from November
2014 to March 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Total of 149 patients were evaluated for 245
times using catheter risk assessment scale. There were 26% person-time with moderate risk and 16% person-
time with severe risk of catheter slippage. The usual risk factors were in 3 days after operation, all kinds of
catheters related to the operation, common ability of communication and the understanding of the patients.
General measures to prevent catheter out were provided for all patients and specific measures were provided
for the patients with moderate and severe risks. In the study, there were no catheter slippage in the 149
patients. Conclusion Application of catheter slippage risk assessment could help to identify the risk level
of catheter slippage of patients and the risk factors of catheter out so as to provide patients with effective
measures to prevent catheter slippage.
