Hepsi Bai. J, Aruna. V. M

Abstract :

 Intravenous (IV) therapy is a modality in the care of patients, whereby medication and fluids were administered via intravenous route for the purposes of replacing fluids and electrolytes and administering medication. The present study was undertaken to assess the practice of IV cannula care and to determine the rate of phlebitis among clients with IV cannula. A descriptive study was conducted among 40 IV cannulation procedures of clients admitted in selected wards of tertiary care hospital, Trivandrum, using observation checklist. The results showed that in IV cannulation procedure, pre-procedural phase practices were 64.4%, procedural phase practices were 83.4%, post-procedural phase practices were comparatively less 55.4%. The practice of IV cannulation and post care were varied from 10% to 100%. The study concluded that the education of staff nurses regarding IV cannulation technique and post IV cannulation care with proper monitoring will reduce the incidence of phlebitis and improves the quality of nursing care.
