- Abstract
To analyze the occurrence of phlebitis in hospitalized patients with oncohematological diseases and to identify possible related factors. A descriptive study with a quantitative approach, with 20 patients from the onco-hematology ward of a hospital in the city of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. 11 men and 9 women participated, aged between 60 and 79 years, 90% with some hematological alteration. The most used catheter was number 22, fixed with a sterile transparent film (89.5%); of the 38 punctures, 34 were performed by nurses, and 4 of them presented some alteration suggestive of phlebitis. After 7 days, only one puncture site showed phlebitis. The performance of nursing consistent with a safe practice of venous catheterization, observing the correct choice of catheter, place to be punctured, type and form of fixation of the device, medications in use, underlying disease and length of stay of the intravenous catheter, allows the prevention of phlebitis.
