Highlights
Healthcare organizations are increasingly focused on maintaining or improving the quality of care delivery, which requires the implementation of effective, efficient, equitable, acceptable, and safe health-related interventions (Souza, Oliveira, Dias, & Nicola, 2015)
This study aimed to identify the prevalence of peripheral intravenous catheter-related phlebitis in patients admitted to a hospital unit in the North region of Portugal in May 2017, as well as to analyze its associated risk factors
Phlebitis can evolve into a bloodstream infections (BSI), which poses a problem for the nurses in the orthopedic ward of this hospital unit in the North region of Portugal
Summary
Healthcare organizations are increasingly focused on maintaining or improving the quality of care delivery, which requires the implementation of effective, efficient, equitable, acceptable, and safe health-related interventions (Souza, Oliveira, Dias, & Nicola, 2015). Intravenous therapy requires the insertion of a catheter into a vein, and the peripheral venous catheter (PVC) is the most commonly used catheter because it provides access to the vascular system in a faster, less invasive, and less complex way (Enes, Optiz, Faro, & Pedreira, 2015) These authors define phlebitis as one of the most common and severe local complications related to PVC use. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of peripheral intravenous catheter-related phlebitis in patients admitted to a hospital unit in the North region of Portugal in May 2017, as well as to analyze its associated risk factors. Objective: To identify the prevalence of peripheral intravenous catheter-related phlebitis in patients admitted to a hospital unit in the North region of Portugal in May 2017, as well as to analyze its associated risk factors. They must acquire skills to be able to identify the signs and symptoms of complications, as well as the risk factors for phlebitis
