Incidência de flebite e flebite pós-infusional em adultos hospitalizados

Abstract: Objective: to determine the incidence of phlebitis during and after the use of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIC), and analyse the association of this complication with risk factors.Methods: cohort study with 165 adult patients admitted to a university hospital in Porto Alegre, totalling 447 accesses, from December 2014 to February 2015. Data were collected on a daily basis and analysed by means of descriptive and analytical statistics. Results:The incidence of phlebitis during PIC was 7.15% and the inciden… Show more

“…A reason for the lower rate of phlebitis at the wrist may be that the radial vein has a larger diameter. This is in accord with Urbanetto et al (Urbanetto et al, 2017). To reduce the risk of phlebitis, the insertion/infusion should be inspected at each shift change and the catheter removed if signs of inflammation, infiltration, or blockage are present.…”

“…11,23 A utilização de drogas com extremo de pH e vesicantes ou irritantes está associada com a ocorrência de flebite, de forma que, quanto mais ácido o pH de um medicamento, maior o risco de flebite química. 14,17 Uma pesquisa realizada em uma unidade clínica e cirúrgica de um hospital universitário de Porto Alegre avaliou a significância estatística da ocorrência de flebite com a análise individual do uso de medicamentos. A amoxicilina + ácido clavulânico se destacou, mas também apareceram o cloridrato de tramadol e a anfotericina.…”

“…A amoxicilina + ácido clavulânico se destacou, mas também apareceram o cloridrato de tramadol e a anfotericina. Todos esses medicamentos foram apontados nos dados do presente estudo, 17 o que demonstra a importância dos cuidados com diluição e administração de medicamentos com pH mais ácido, em decorrência do aumento do risco de flebite química. Os antibióticos mais utilizados variam de acordo com as características dos pacientes e dos microorganismos mais prevalentes em cada instituição.…”

“…There are several risk factors associated with the appearance of phlebitis, such as the duration of PIVIC, gender, the intrinsic characteristics of the patient, as well as the chemical properties of the drugs. According to the main cause, phlebitis can be classified as mechanical, biological, chemical, or postinfusional phlebitis (URBANETTO et al, 2017).…”
