PURPOSE: Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion isthe most frequently used invasive intervention that is performed inmore than 80% of hospitalized children. It is a known that seeminglyinnocent PIVC may result in various morbidities such as phlebitis,infection, extravasations, and may even lead to mortality. In this study,we aimed to investigate the effect of a new fixation board (wrist-anklefixation board) on PIVC lifespan and complications rates in pediatricpatients undergoing PIVC insertion in the joint area.Material and methods: A total of 49 patients who weretreated in the pediatric surgery ward between June and July 2018and who underwent PIVC insertion were prospectively followed.The patients were divided into the following two groups: ‘Group 1’in which a wrist-ankle fixation board was used and ‘Group 2’, whichwas allocated as the control group using Hypoallergenic ElasticFixation Tape. PVC life and complications (infiltration, purification,displacement) were recorded.Results: Forty-nine patients were included in the present studyand they were divided into the following two groups: 25 patientsin Group 1 and 24 patients in Group 2. There were no statisticallysignificant differences between the groups in terms of age and gender(p>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in PIVC lifespanbetween Groups 1 (31.8 hours) and 2 (29.5 hours) (p = 0.151). Thecomplication rate was noted to be 4% in Group 1 and 29% in Group2. The difference in complication rates between the two groups wasstatistically significant (p = 0.02).Conclusions: The rate of complications was lower in pediatricpatients with PIVC compared to the other method with the use of anew fixation board (ankle-ankle fixation fixation method). However,no significant results were obtained regarding PIVC life.
