Incidence of Phlebitis Associated With Peripheral Venous Catheter of Patients With COVID-19

Incidence of phlebitis associated with the use of peripheral IV catheter and following catheter removal

OBJECTIVE to investigate the incidence of phlebitis and its association with risk factors when using peripheral IV catheters (PIC) and following their removal - (post-infusion phlebitis) in hospitalized adults. METHOD a cohort study of 171 patients using PIC, totaling 361 punctures. Sociodemographic variables and variables associated with the catheter were collected. Descriptive and analytica...

[Infectious or noninfectious phlebitis: lessons from a an interventional programm on phlebitis associated to peripheral venous catheter].

BACKGROUND There is no consensus definition to distinguish infectious from non-infectious phlebitis associated to peripheral venous catheter. AIMS To evaluate the impact of an intervention program on the rate of infectious (those associated to bacteremia or local purulent discharge) and non-infectious phlebitis (the rest) and identify differential features. METHODS Interventional study deve...

Cardiac tamponade associated with a peripheral vein central venous catheter.

We present a case of cardiac tamponade associated with placement of a central venous catheter (CVC) via a peripheral vein in a 14-year-old girl with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing corrective surgery. A number of complications have been described in association with CVC misplacement. Sporadic cases of cardiac tamponade from this have been reported, but the actual incidence is unknown. Death fro...
