    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-01-06) Cárdenas Rojas, Maria Luisa; Gutiérrez Arista, Virginia Isabel; Pérez Siguas, Rosa Eva
    All the scientific articles found and analyzed on the effectiveness of the catheter impregnated with antimicrobial versus a standard catheter for the prevention of phlebitis in patients with venous catheterization correspond to the type of research of Systematic Reviews. In our daily practice in patient care, the intravenous catheter impregnated with antimicrobial is not used, the use is only a standard catheter, so infections related to the catheter can develop, however, management is carried out with aseptic techniques. biosafety, reducing as much as possible some risks related to the catheter In our work, they show that the catheter impregnated with antimicrobial is effective in preventing phlebitis at the catheter insertion site in patients with vascular access, not only because of the benefits it provides, which are related to the reduction of phlebitis, but because the long-term cost benefit reduces hospital costs and reduces hospital stay. However, all articles agree in searching for more studies for the best evidence.
