Abstract

This Longitudinal study, with an observational
and quantitative approach, aimed to analyze the quality
of nursing care in peripheral intravenous therapy, through
the indicators, incidence of phlebitis, quality of coverage,
and validity of the peripheral intravenous catheters. Data
were collected from October 2012 to August 2013, in
three units of a teaching hospital in the state of Paraná,
Brazil, using a form created for this purpose. A total
of 174 patients and 221 catheters were evaluated. The
results indicated an incidence of phlebitis between 20%
and 25.33%; identification and the validity of the venous
accesses were classified as safe and adequate in the
majority of cases, according to an analysis of the Positivity
Index that classifies medical work. It was concluded that
the evaluated indicators could mostly be interpreted as
favorable for care quality.
