94% of patients treated at the hospital require the insertion of a peripheral venous catheter. Such devices are necessary for the administration of intravenous medication, but they are not without complications. The first study, <\/span>published in the journal <\/span>Plos One<\/span><\/i><\/a>, shows that almost 6% of hospitalized patients have complications related to the peripheral venous catheter, the most common being phlebitis and extravasation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the factors associated with a higher incidence of complications is nursing coverage, which indicates the ratio of nursing hours provided in relation to the hours required per patient. It is also associated with patient characteristics such as female gender, catheter days, hemodynamic instability, uncontrolled pain, communication disorders, high risk of bleeding, consciousness level disorders or lack of caregiver, all of which are risk factors for suffering a catheter-related complication.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, the second study, which has been carried out with patients treated in the Emergency Department, shows a prevalence of complications related to the peripheral venous catheter close to 1%. The results, published in the <\/span>journal BMJ Open<\/span><\/a>, show that the factors associated with complications are incontinence, hemodynamic instability, transmissible infection, vascular fragility, anxiety\/fear, impaired adaptation, consciousness level disturbances, lack of caregiver and agitation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both studies show that the greater number of care complexity factors and nursing coverage are associated with complications related to the peripheral venous catheter. Therefore, these studies conclude the need to identify patients at risk of complications at an early stage and the need to establish safe nursing coverage in the hospital setting in order to establish improvements in the management of patients at higher risk.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
