Complications of Peripheral Intravenous Catheters During 72 Hours After Insertion
Introduction: Peripheral Intravenous catheterization is the most commonly used invasive treatment method in patients admitted to the hospitals, but it has some complications. The indwell time of catheter is one of the factors associated with the occurrence of complications, especially phlebitis. In spite of the instructions for replacing the catheters after 72 hours, sometimes the complications...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness analysis of clinically indicated versus routine replacement of peripheral intravenous catheters.
BACKGROUND Millions of peripheral intravenous catheters are used worldwide. The current guidelines recommend routine catheter replacement every 72-96 h. This practice requires increasing healthcare resource use. The clinically indicated catheter replacement strategy is proposed as an alternative. OBJECTIVES To assess the cost effectiveness of clinically indicated versus routine replacement of...
متن کاملRoutine care of peripheral intravenous catheters versus clinically indicated replacement: randomised controlled trial
OBJECTIVE To compare routine replacement of intravenous peripheral catheters with replacement only when clinically indicated. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING Tertiary hospital in Australia. PARTICIPANTS 755 medical and surgical patients: 379 allocated to catheter replacement only when clinically indicated and 376 allocated to routine care of catheter (control group). MAIN OU...
متن کاملRoutine versus clinically indicated replacement of peripheral intravenous catheters: a randomised controlled equivalence trial.
BACKGROUND The millions of peripheral intravenous catheters used each year are recommended for 72-96 h replacement in adults. This routine replacement increases health-care costs and staff workload and requires patients to undergo repeated invasive procedures. The effectiveness of the practice is not well established. Our hypothesis was that clinically indicated catheter replacement is of equal...
متن کاملEffect of Continuous Flushing on Patency Time of Peripheral Intravenous Catheters
Background and purpose: Occlusion is a decreasing factor on longevity of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs). Continuous flushing (injection of specific volume of solution such as Normal Saline (N/S) before and after each drug infusion into PIVCs at determined interval time) is one of the effective methods in in vitro studies to maintain the PIVCs patency. The aim of this study was to inve...
