- Abstract
Objective: evaluate peripheral venous catheterization in a specialized adolescent health unit and and identify the correlation of reasons for withdrawals with the number of puncture attempts and caliber of the catheter over the needle. Method: descriptive study with a quantitative approach. Results: 13 (56,5%) were male, aged between 15 and 17 years (82,6%). Regarding medical diagnosis by systems, rheumatology stands out in 11 adolescents (47,8%). There were 67 venous punctures, with the 22 gauge predominating (76.1%). In terms of withdrawal, the elective form stands out in 44,8%, followed by accidental removal in 31,3%. Regarding complications, 43,7% were due to catheter obstruction. Also, the greater the number of attempts, the greater the chance of phlebitis, moderate positive correlation (0.494) with p <0.001 and the larger the caliber, the greater the chance of phlebitis, strong positive correlation (0.575) with p <0.001. Conclusion: the need to implement good practices related to the maintenance of these devices, staff training and the creation of protocols and bundles aimed at clinical practice is reinforced.
