These studies suggest that preventing PIVC-related complications, such as phlebitis and infiltration, is important, but the effectiveness of specific prevention strategies remains uncertain.
Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are commonly used in various patient populations, including critically ill adults and neonates. However, their use is associated with several complications such as phlebitis, infiltration, and bloodstream infections. This synthesis aims to present key insights from recent research on preventing these complications.

Preventive Measures and Strategies:
Factors Influencing Complications:
PIVC-related complications such as phlebitis, infiltration, and bloodstream infections are common in both critically ill adults and neonates. Preventive strategies, including the use of insertion and maintenance bundles and advanced training for healthcare providers, show promise but require further standardization and rigorous evaluation. Continuous monitoring and timely intervention are crucial to minimize these complications and improve patient outcomes.
