Time of permanence of the peripherical venous device in situ related to the nursing care to hospitalized patients

Abstract

The technological development of the intravenous therapy imposes to the nurse technical-scientific ability for this practice. This study purposed to relate the permanence time in situ of the peripherical venous devices with the nursing care. The obtained data point that in 50% of the venous stipplers, with time of permanence less than 24 h, the degree of nursing care was unsatisfactory, having 9.4 % of them remained in situ for a period upper than 72 h. The average of the time of permanence in situ of the peripherical venous device was 29,2 h, what demonstrates necessity to intensify the studies on this thematic aiming at qualification of nursing care.
