    • Thrombotic complications are a significant concern associated with intravenous (IV) access.
    • These complications can range from superficial phlebitis to deep vein thrombosis.
    • Understanding these risks is crucial for patient safety and effective healthcare delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of thrombotic complications related to IV access.
    • To discuss the incidence, clinical presentation, and natural progression of these disorders.
    • To outline current treatment modalities and preventative strategies pertinent to IV nursing.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on IV-related thrombotic events.
    • Synthesis of information regarding incidence, symptomatology, and disease course.
    • Analysis of treatment options and evidence-based preventative measures.

    Main Results:

    • Thrombotic complications encompass a spectrum of venous disorders.
    • Key symptoms, natural history, and risk factors are detailed.
    • Effective treatment and prevention protocols are essential for managing these complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Thrombotic complications of IV access require thorough understanding and management.
    • Adherence to preventative measures can significantly reduce incidence and severity.
    • IV nursing plays a critical role in identifying, treating, and preventing these adverse events.
