ABSTRACT

Objective To study and analyze the effects of two different routes of intravenous administration on mannitol induced phlebitis. Methods 98 patients who received mannitol infusion in the first people's hospital in Wenling from December 2013 to December 2016 were selected as the study objects. The patients were divided into PICC group and peripheral group according to different intravenous administration modes. In group PICC, 49 cases were given intravenous administration by PICC. In peripheral group, 49 cases were received peripheral vein indwelling needle. The incidence of phlebitis in the two groups was compared. Results The data showed that the incidence of phlebitis in group PICC was 8.16%, and the incidence of phlebitis in peripheral group was 22.45%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Mannitol infusion by PICC can reduce the incidence of phlebitis.
