Abstract
Introduction
It is necessary to know the rate of phlebitis associated with its use and the risk factors associated with peripheral vascular catheter management that directly influence the presence of phlebitis.
Methodology
observational descriptive study, carried out after the implementation of the Zero Phlebitis Project in a large-capacity (>1,000 beds) urban tertiary hospital of reference in Navarra. The implementation of the Zero Phlebitis Project was carried out progressively, incorporating 4 units (2 medical and 2 surgical) per year, ending in February 2023. Subsequently, data collection for the present study began in May 2023.
Results
687 catheters were included, 48.3% (332) catheters were implanted in men versus 51.7% (355) in women with a mean age of 68 (SD 18.64). A phlebitis rate of 11.93% was detected, with catheter caliber and insertion site factors being directly related to the presence of phlebitis.
Conclusions
The presence of phlebitis is marked by both modifiable factors, being recommended the use of small caliber devices and the forearm area the indicated ones to decrease the rate of phlebitis.
期刊介绍:
Enfermería Clínica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is a useful and necessary tool for nursing professionals from the different areas of nursing (healthcare, administration, education and research) as well as for healthcare professionals involved in caring for persons, families and the community. It is the only Spanish nursing journal that mainly publishes original research. The aim of the Journal is to promote increased knowledge through the publication of original research and other studies that may help nursing professionals improve their daily practice. This objective is pursued throughout the different sections that comprise the Journal: Original Articles and Short Original Articles, Special Articles, Patient Care and Letters to the Editor. There is also an Evidence-Based Nursing section that includes comments about original articles of special interest written by experts.
