About this trial
Phlebitis is a clinical condition that develops as a complication of peripheral venous catheter use. Peripheral venous catheterization is a common clinical procedure performed in hospitalized patients, as it provides vascular access for the administration of medications, blood products, and contrast media for diagnostic imaging studies. The pathophysiology of phlebitis involves inflammation of the vascular intima, leading to luminal narrowing and impaired blood flow. These changes are clinically manifested by local signs of inflammation, including erythema, edema, and pain, which have been objectively assessed using several validated clinical assessment scales.

Treatments tested in this trial
Estandard peripheral venous catheter care protocol
Other interventioncontrol group will receive the standard peripheral venous catheter care protocol implemented
Efecto del masaje proximal y del golpeteo de la palma al puño.
BehavioralFollowing hand hygiene, participants will receive gentle massage using the palmar surface of the fingers over an area located approximately 2-3 cm proximal to the peripheral intravenous catheter insertion site. Each session will last approximately 2-3 minutes and will be performed three times daily for up to four consecutive days or until catheter removal, whichever occurs first

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Incidence of phlebitis during the observation period
To evaluate the effect of proximal massage and palm-to-fist tapping exercises on reducing the risk of peripheral venous catheter-related phlebitis during the first 96 hours after catheter insertion
Time frame
Participants will be followed for 4 days (96 hours) after catheter insertion. Outcome assessments will be performed at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours.Secondary outcomes
1
Time to first episode of phlebitis, maximum phlebitis severity during follow-up and evaluate factors associated with the development of phlebitis
Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive standardized instruction from the study investigators and will be encouraged
Time frame
Participants will be followed for 4 days (96 hours) after catheter insertion. Outcome assessments will be performed at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours.Sponsors and contacts
