Abstract

Objective: to describe the variables associated with thrombosis in patients with peripherallyinserted central venous catheters.
Method: a retrospective cohort study with data collected in 2016, in the Research Electronic Data Capture information system of a high-complexity hospital in São Paulo, Brazil.
Results: the critical patient was the one who presented more thrombosis (77.3%). The patient who had a peripherally-inserted central venous catheter taking more than 33% of the blood vessel, when punctured more than once (15.4%), evolved with thrombosis. Regarding the puncture area, there was no significant result since 96.2% of the patients had the catheter in the ideal puncture zone in the arm.
Conclusion: the incidence of patients with Peripherally-Inserted Central Venous Catheters who evolved with thrombosis was 1.2%, considered low compared to other studies, contributing to strengthen the policies of good practices for the success of the intravenous therapy with its use.
