Abstract 

Peripheral intravenous cannulation is one of the most common invasive procedures
that nurses perform, and it carries with it a high risk of complication. Phlebitis,
thrombophlebitis, extravasation, and infection from bacteremia and septicemia are all
complications of intravenous cannulation. (2) Patients also feel unnecessarily
uncomfortable or in pain while resting.
Given the numerous difficulties that might develop from peripheral intravenous
cannulation, it is critical to ensure that the nurses doing the process are qualified (3) In
health-care settings, inserting a peripheral venous catheter for the delivery of fluid or
medication is a typical task. Patients who have a peripheral venous catheter inserted
often experience significant discomfort and anxiety as a result of the treatment (4).
Complications such as bleeding, hematoma, infections, thrombophlebitis, and They may
also be affected by infiltration (5). Aside from several patient-related problems, lack
knowledge and ability in peripheral venous catheter management could also be a
contributing factor (6). However, there is a scarcity of research on registered nurses’
ability to implant peripheral venous catheters.
Objective The study will help to reveal the understanding and practices of nurses
regarding care and maintenance of peripheral intravenous cannulation. Factors would
be identified might lead to practice modification through education, procedure changes
according to the standards for quality of care. Aim The study is aimed to differentiate
between nurses’ skills of peripheral venous catheter insertion in public and private
hospitals.
Evaluate nurses’ performance regarding peripheral venous catheter insertion. CHAPTER
TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Background Basic skills in insertion and care of
Peripheral Venous Catheters (PVCs) are taught in undergraduate nursing programs all
around the world. These commonly used methods in hospitalized patients allow for
rapid and safe bloodstream access (1).
Intravenous cannulation is a technique that nursing students must learn through
training and supervised practice. It’s vital to emphasize that the knowledge and skills to
be developed should be based on: vascular access device assessment, insertion, care,
and management (2). Inadequate or incorrect knowledge about PVCs, on the other
hand, might lead to a high risk of malpractice.
As a result, adherence to patient safety guidelines is strongly related to the level of
knowledge and skills obtained. PVCs have been shown to be safe devices that pose no
harm to patients when properly handled (3). However, it is critical to dispel the myth
that PVCs are harmless and pose little danger of infection (4).
Phlebitis, infiltration, and, as a result, a decreased frequency of occlusion and catheter
dislodgement are the most common consequences (5). These issues can progress to
more serious effects, such as bloodstream infections, but they are uncommon. 2.2.
Complication of PVC 2.2.1.PVC thrombophlebitis Phlebitis is vein inflammation, and
thrombophlebitis is when phlebitis is associated with thrombus formation.
