Research progress in intravenous administration of indwelling needles to infusion phlebitis / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Intravenous administration by indwelling needle is a common clinical administration method, which has the advantages of high patient comfort, convenience, and low complication rate. In clinical applications, the most common side effect of intravenous administration of indwelling needles is infusion phlebitis. The occurrence of phlebitis can reduce the quality of clinical care and even lead to bacteremia. In this paper, the pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, prevention and nursing measures of phlebitis caused by intravenous administration of indwelling needles were reviewed. It is considered that an objective assessment method for infusion vascular status, effectively monitor the degree of damage of blood vessels during the infusion process, and phlebitis effective physical therapy after occurrence will become the research focus in the field of clinical engineering.
