Resumo
Objective: analyze the risk factors linked to complications in peripheral intravenous catheters. Method: secondary data analysis of a randomized controlled trial with 169 medical and surgical patients placed in two groups, one with integrated safety catheter (n= 90) and other using simple needle catheter (n= 79), with three months follow-up time. Results: the risk factors that raised the odds of developing complications were: hospitalization between 10-19 days (p= 0.0483) and 20-29 days (p= 0,0098), antimicrobial use (p= 0.0288) and use of fluid solutions (p= 0.0362). The 20 Gauge lowered the risks of complications (p= 0.0153). Multiple analysis showed reduction of risk for the 20 Gauge (p= 0.0350)
heightened risk for solutions and fluids (p= 0.0351) and use of corticosteroids (p= 0.0214). Conclusion: risk factors linked to complications in peripheral intravenous catheters were: hospitalization periods between 10-29 days, antimicrobial infusion, solutions and fluids and corticosteroids. Regarding complications, 20 Gauge is a protecting factor compared with 22. Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry: RBR-46ZQR8.
