About this trial
Peripheral venous catheter complications are conditions that are frequently seen in intensive care clinics and require nursing care. The most common complications are phlebitis, infiltration and extravasation. Nurses should take the necessary precautions to prevent these complications from developing.. Therefore, this planned thesis study aims to establish an infusion monitoring system and evaluate its effectiveness in early detection of complications related to peripheral intravenous catheters. The research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted in Ordu State Hospital General Intensive Care Unit 1 and General Intensive Care Unit 3 clinics. The universe of the study will consist of patients receiving inpatient treatment in General Intensive Care Unit 1 and General Intensive Care Unit 3 clinics. The sample size will be determined by g-power analysis after a two-month preliminary follow-up. Data will be collected with the "Clinical Follow-up Form", "Patient Information Form", and "Complication Follow-up Form". The clinics included in the study will be divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. First, the frequency of complications will be determined in the experimental and control groups. Then, while the control group continues its routine protocol and applications, an infusion follow-up system will be developed in the experimental group and will be used by nurses in patient care. In the final stage, the frequency of peripheral venous catheter complications will be determined again. Data will be evaluated using the SPSS 22.0 package program at a significance level of p\<0.05 and a confidence interval of 95%.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Complication Follow-up Form
This form was developed by the investigators to enable the identification and evaluation of phlebitis, infiltration and extravasation complications. This form has no minimum and maximum score.
Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 10 montsSecondary outcomes
1
Peripheral Edema Scale
It helps to diagnose the oedema developing in the patient. A minimum score of 1 and a maximum score of 4 is obtained from the oedema scale. The increase in the score indicates an increase in the degree of oedema and more unfavourable results.
Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 10 monts2
Glasgow Coma Scale
This scale allows the patients' level of consciousness to be assessed. Minimum 3 points and maximum 15 points can be obtained from this scale. An increase in the score indicates that the level of consciousness is better, while a decrease in the score indicates that the level of consciousness has worsened.
