Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Phlebitis score based on Visual Infusion Phlebitis Assessment Scale criteria. Timepoint: Every 12 hours to 72 hours. Method of measurement: Visual Infusion Phlebitis Assessment Scale Grade 1 has none of the typical symptoms of phlebitis such as pain, rash, and edema. Only catheter observation is recommended. Grade 2 describes the early symptoms of phlebitis, such as pain upon palpation and a rash less than 2.5 cm in diameter around the catheter site. Visual Infusion Phlebitis Assessment Scale suggests catheter replacement. Grade 3 phlebitis refers to mid-level disease: IV site rashes are between 2.5 and 5 cm, and palpation of the IV site reveals pain and rigidity. Treatment should be considered after catheter replacement and doctor notification. Grade 4 phlebitis is advanced phlebitis or the onset of thrombophlebitis. At this level, there is a rash larger than 5 cm around the IV site and pain and rigidity upon palpation. Visual Infusion Phlebitis Assessment Scale recommends catheter replacement, doctor consultation, and consideration of treatment. Finally, grade 5 phlebitis describes advanced thrombophlebitis. This grade includes grade 4 symptoms as well as purulent drainage. Recommendations include treatment consideration after catheter replacement and doctor notification. | — |
