Evaluation of the Duration of Peripheral Venous Catheter in Vein in Hospitalized Children

Abstract

Aim:This study was conducted to evaluate the duration of the peripheral venous catheter in vein, which is widely employed in the treatment of children who are hospitalized in pediatric clinics. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a prospective and observational-descriptive study. The sampling of the study consisted of the parents/children (N=249), who were admitted to the pediatric clinic, who underwent peripheral venous catheter insertion, and who agreed to participate in the study. Institution and ethics committee permission was obtained for the study. The data were collected with the “Peripheral Venous Catheter Monitoring Form” and “Phlebitis Scale”, which were prepared according to the literature by the research nurse. Results: It was determined that a total of 57.8% of the children who were included in the study were 1-36 months old, 42.2% were older than 37 months and 60.6% were male. It was also determined that the duration of the catheter in children was 58.76±28.07 hours and catheter was inserted 3,61±1,68 times during hospitalization. The negative correlation between “durations of peripheral ıntravenous catheters in veins" and "number of peripheral ıntravenous catheters inserted from hospitalization to discharge” was found to be statistically significant. It was determined that 73.5% of the catheters were removed because of the obstruction. Conclusion: As a result of the present study, it was determined that the peripheral venous catheter in children under three years of age had a shorter duration of remaining in the veins, and these children were subjected to repeated peripheral venous catheter attempts because of obstructions before their treatments were completed.

Hastaneye Yatan Çocuklarda Periferik Venöz Kateterin Vende Kalma Süresinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, pediatri kliniklerinde yatan çocukların tedavisinde oldukça yaygın olarak kullanılan periferik venöz kateterin vende kalma süresini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, prospektif ve gözlemsel-tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, pediatri kliniğinde yatan, periferik venöz kateter uygulanan ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden ebeveyn/çocuklar (N=249) oluşturmuştur. Araştırma için etik kurul ve kurum izinleri alınmıştır. Veriler, literatüre göre hazırlanmış olan “Periferik Venöz Kateter İzlem Formu” ve “Flebit Ölçeği” ile araştırmacı hemşire tarafından toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alınan çocukların %57,8’i 1-36 aylık, %42,2’si 37 aydan büyük, %60,6’sı erkektir. Çocuklara uygulanan kateterin vende kalma süresinin 58,76±28,07 saat ve yatış süresince kateter uygulama sayısının ortalama 3,61±1,68 olduğu saptanmıştır. “Periferik venöz kateterin vende kalma süresi” ve “çocuğun yatışından çıkışına kadar takılan kateter sayısı” arasında istatistiksel olarak negatif yönde ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Periferik vevöz kateterlerin %73,5’inin tıkanma nedeniyle çıkarıldığı bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonucunda üç yaş altı çocuklarda periferik venöz kateterin vende kalma süresinin daha kısa olduğu ve henüz tedavileri sonlanmadan özellikle tıkanma nedeniyle tekrarlı periferal venöz kateter girişimlerine maruz kaldıkları bulunmuştur.
