ABSTRACT
Introduction: Adverse events are common during the use of intravenous therapy, can cause harm to the patient and contribute to aggravating the health status and lengthened hospital stay. In addition, by providing direct access to bloodstream, adverse events related to intravenous therapy can have more serious and damaging repercussions.Objective: To analyze quality indicators related to healthcare in intravenous therapy in a public and teaching hospital.
Methods: Descriptive-exploratory, cross-sectional study carried out in a public teaching hospital. Para recopilar datos se utilizó una forma adaptada compuesta por 03 indicadores: For collecting data, we used an adapted form made up of three indicators: identification of peripheral venous access, identification of intravenous drip for fluids bottles, and identification of fluids and control of the infusion rate of the solutions. The sample was intentional and consisted of 94 participants.
Results: 1355 observations were performed, out of which number 439 were the peripheral venous access, 463 were catheters for the intravenous fluids, and 453 were bottles of fluids and medications. The validity of a peripheral venous access, based only on correctly identified accesses, was the only whose quality of care (QA) was desirable (100%) and safe (83.3%); all the others showed poor QA (< 70%).
Conclusion: The results found in this study are below the desired in order to guarantee quality assistance in intravenous therapy. The quality of care in intravenous therapy is much lower than recommended.
