Abstract

This study aimed to relate the reasons for interrupting intravenous therapy and the time of in-situ permanence of venous devices. The results obtained showed that in 38 of the 75 punctures performed, the reason to interrupt the venous therapy took place after the end of the therapy and that time of in-situ permanence of peripheral devices varied from 24 to 48 hours. In 15 punctures, in which infiltration was the reason for interruption, the time of permanence was shorter than 24 hours. It is believed that the data gathered in this investigation should be analyzed by nursing professionals, aiming to enhance new educational programs in services related to intravenous therapy
