Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC)-related phlebitis at catheter insertion sites among inpatients across selected clinical departments of Military Hospital 175.
Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study described the prevalence of peripheral phlebitis at catheter insertion sites among inpatients in several clinical departments of Military Hospital 175, conducted from June to November 2024. Phlebitis was identified and graded using the Visual Infusion Phlebitis (VIP) score.
Results: The prevalence of peripheral intravenous phlebitis at catheter insertion sites among inpatients in selected clinical departments was 13.5%. Phlebitis at VIP grade 1 accounted for the highest proportion (10.1%), followed by VIP grade 2 (2.4%). The lowest proportion was VIP grade 3 (1%). No cases of VIP grade 4 or VIP grade 5 phlebitis were observed. Independent risk factors associated with phlebitis included catheter dwell time and catheter patency status.
Conclusion: The prevalence of peripheral intravenous phlebitis at catheter insertion sites (13.5%) was relatively high compared with the recommendation of the Infusion Nurses Society (INS) (approximately 5%). Nurses should pay close attention to related risk factors and strictly adhere to protocols for the management and care of peripheral intravenous catheters in order to reduce the incidence of phlebitis.
