ASSESSMENT OF PHLEBITIS AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH PERIPHERAL INTRAVENOUS CATHETERS AT THE PEDIATRIC CENTER, BACH MAI HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To examine the prevalence of phlebitis and analyze associated factors in pediatric patients with peripheral intravenous catheters at the Pediatric Center, Bach Mai Hospital. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 350 hospitalized pediatric patients aged 2 months to 15 years at the Pediatric Center, Bach Mai Hospital from January to June 2025. Results: The prevalence of phlebitis in children with peripheral intravenous catheters was 21.4%, with Grade 1 phlebitis accounting for 16.86% , Grade 2 for 4.9%. No cases of Grade 3, 4, or 5 phlebitis were recorded. Age and catheter dwell time were found to be significantly associated with the risk of phlebitis. Conclusion: The incidence of phlebitis associated with the use of peripheral intravenous catheters remains relatively high. Factors such as patient age and catheter dwell time significantly influence the risk of phlebitis. It is necessary to promote training programs on the safety of intravenous infusion and to implement the Visual Infusion Phlebitis score as a valuable tool for early detection and timely intervention.
