    (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%).
