Abstract:
Patients receiving intravenous therapy are at risk of developing an infection at the insertion site. Careful monitoring of the length of time a catheter is in situ, and ensuring that only sterile dressings are used and that they do not allow accumulation of moisture at the insertion site, will reduce the rate of complications.
