“…İntravenöz sıvının yerleşim yerinden ayrılması, tespit altından sızıntı olması da infiltrasyon bulguları arasındadır. Ancak bazı durumlarda komplikasyonlar daha fazla olabilir, deride kabarıklık, solukluk, kapiller dolum zamanında uzama ve dokuda nekroz görülebilir (4)(5)(6).…”

“…The scale is a valid and reliable tool 22 that facilitates tracking of the sequelae of infusions and provides ongoing monitoring of phlebitis. Documentation of a catheter's location and reasons for discontinuing a catheter are also required.…”

Background Intravenous amiodarone is an important treatment for arrhythmias, but peripheral infusion is associated with direct irritation of vessel walls and phlebitis rates of 8% to 55%. Objectives To determine the incidence and factors contributing to the development of amiodarone-induced phlebitis in the coronary care unit in an academic medical center and to refine the current practice protocol. Methods Medical records from all adult patients during an 18-month period who received intravenous amiodarone while in the critical care unit were reviewed retrospectively. Route of administration, location, concentration, and duration of amiodarone therapy and factors associated with occurrence of phlebitis were examined. Descriptive statistics and regression methods were used to identify incidence and phlebitis factors. Results In the final sample of 105 patients, incidence of phlebitis was 40%, with a 50% recurrence rate. All cases of phlebitis occurred in patients given a total dose of 3 g via a peripheral catheter, and one-quarter of these cases (n = 10) developed at dosages less than 1 g. Pain, redness, and warmth were the most common indications of phlebitis. Total dosage given via a peripheral catheter, duration of infusion, and number of catheters were significantly associated with phlebitis. Conclusions Amiodarone-induced phlebitis occurred in 40% of this sample at higher drug dosages. A new practice protocol resulted from this study. An outcome study is in progress.

“…It was found that the scale was easy to administer, with rapid implementation (mean of 1.3 minutes), and was clinically appropriate. (14) The authors also indicated the need to make other psychometric studies to assess the validity and reliability of the scale.…”

Objective: To translate, adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Infiltration Scale for the Portuguese culture. Methods: A methodological study of trans-cultural adaptation to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Infiltration Scale, conducted in a cohort study with 110 adults undergoing intravenous therapy. Results: In the translation and cultural adaptation, language adjustments were discussed by researchers and a panel of experts, achieving an agreement of 85.71% for clinical criteria, except for "Possible numbness". The scale identified infiltration in 48 patients (60% prevalence). Edema was the most evident sign in the insertion site and areas adjacent to the venous catheter. The internal consistency, determined by Cronbach's alpha, was 0.85. Conclusion: The scale adapted to the Portuguese culture presented linguistic equivalence to the original, proved valid and reliable, with good internal consistency for assessing infiltration. The systematic evaluation of infiltration using the scale can support decision-making and the implementation of preventive measures. ResumoObjetivo: Traduzir, adaptar e avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da Infiltration Scale para a cultura portuguesa. Métodos: Estudo metodológico de adaptação transcultural com avaliação das propriedades psicométricas da Infiltration Scale em uma coorte com 110 adultos submetidos à terapia intravenosa. Resultados: Na tradução e adaptação cultural, as adequações linguísticas foram discutidas pelos investigadores e um painel de especialistas, havendo concordância em 85,71% dos critérios clínicos, exceto "Possible numbness". A escala captou infiltração em 48 pacientes (prevalência de 60%). O edema foi o principal sinal evidenciado na inserção e áreas adjacentes ao cateter venoso. A consistência interna, determinada pelo alfa de Cronbach, foi de 0,85. Conclusão: A escala adaptada para a cultura portuguesa apresentou equivalência linguística em relação à original, mostrou-se válida e fidedigna, com boa consistência interna para avaliar a infiltração. A avaliação sistemática da infiltração com recurso a escala poderá subsidiar a tomada de decisão e implementação de medidas preventivas.
