Phlebitis, an inflammation of veins, frequently occurred in patients with peripheral venous catheters. This study highlights a high incidence of phlebitis despite a short catheter duration in hospitalized patients.

Area of Science:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Devices

Context:

  • Hospitalized patients in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases units.
  • Use of 215 peripheral venous catheters among 121 patients.
  • Observation period during the study's execution.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the occurrence of phlebitis in patients with peripheral venous catheters.
  • To assess the relationship between catheter use and phlebitis incidence.
  • To analyze phlebitis rates in a specific hospitalized population.

Summary:

  • A high incidence of phlebitis was detected in patients utilizing peripheral venous catheters.
  • The study involved 121 patients (30.5% women, 69.4% men) with 215 catheters.
  • Phlebitis occurred frequently, even with a short average catheter duration.
