(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Villegas Chiroque, María Gladys; Palermo Peña, Rebeca; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa María
Objective: To synthesize the evidence on the factors associated with phlebitis in hospitalized patients with a peripheral venous catheter. Materials and Methods: systematic review, 10 full-text articles were chosen. Results: Of the articles reviewed, 100% indicate there are factors associated with phlebitis. The 10 articles reviewed show us that there is a significant frequency of phlebitis due to PVC and that the factors associated with it are multiple. Conclusions: Of the total of 10 articles reviewed, studies were found that agreed as a risk factor: age group of young adults (40%) and female sex (20%), insertion of PVC in the emergency department (30%), placement in the forearm (20%), the use of a large caliber catheter (18G) (20%), and duration greater than 4 days (10%), the use of mixed infusion (10%), more than three medications (10% ), especially antibiotics such as Amoxicillin Clavulamate and/or Aminoglycosides (50%) and potassium chloride (10%).

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-01-17) Camacho Reyes, Julissa Marisol; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa María
This research has a quantitative approach, with a cross-sectional descriptive methodological design. The population will consist of 30 people who work at The Sterilization Central; between nurses and technicians who work in the central sterilization service of the San Juan de Lurigancho National Hospital. The participants were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria established in the research. To measure the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, the Nordic questionnaire by I. Kuorinka will be applied, which has been used in Peru by Vidal Caro Williams in the research of his thesis: “Prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in undergraduate students of “Stomatology at the San Juan Bautista Private University during 2016.” This Standardized Nordic questionnaire is typified for the detection of musculoskeletal symptoms, which was developed and proposed to the International Scientific Community in 1987, after being validated in the Scandinavian population. It is a questionnaire applicable to the general population since its language is simple. The questionnaire consists of 11 questions, related to MSDs located in five areas of the body (neck, shoulder, dorsal or lumbar area, elbow or forearm, wrist or hand).
