Abstract
Infusion-related phlebitis is a frequently occurring, but often preventable complication associated with intravenous therapy. Early detection with prompt, consistent nursing intervention decreases the occurrence and severity of cannula-related phlebitis. This article reviews the clinical aspects of phlebitis and describes a comprehensive approach for the treatment of infusion-related phlebitis.Entities:
