Objectives:
to map the evidence on nursing practices related to outpatient antineoplastic therapy using peripheral intravenous catheters and to identify the complications associated with the use of this device.
Methods:
this is a scoping review conducted according to the JBI methodology. The selection process was carried out independently and blindly by two reviewers.
Results:
a total of 1,287 publications were retrieved, and 16 studies were ultimately included. The identified practices were related to responsibility for the procedure; infection prevention and biosafety; selection of the puncture site; choice of the puncture device; skin preparation; venous puncture; access maintenance; catheter dressing and stabilization; and device removal and disposal. The most frequently reported complications were phlebitis, edema, pain, burning sensation, extravasation, and bloodstream infection.
Conclusions:
this study mapped peripheral intravenous catheterization practices for outpatient antineoplastic therapy into nine categories. The most common complications included phlebitis, edema, pain, burning sensation, extravasation, and bloodstream infection.
