💉 Phlebitis:
Phlebitis is the inflammation of a vein, often caused by the presence of an IV cannula, irritating medications, prolonged catheter placement, or mechanical trauma to the vein.

🔴 Common Symptoms:
• Redness around the IV insertion site
• Pain or tenderness along the vein
• Swelling (edema)
• Warmth at the affected area
• Hardening or palpable cord-like vein
• Discomfort during infusion

🩺 Management:
• Stop the infusion and remove the cannula if phlebitis is suspected
• Assess and document the severity of phlebitis
• Apply warm compresses to reduce pain and inflammation
• Elevate the affected limb if swelling is present
• Insert a new cannula at a different site if IV therapy is still required
• Monitor for signs of infection and complications
• Educate healthcare staff on proper cannula care and timely site assessment
✅ Early recognition and prompt intervention can prevent complications, improve patient comfort, and enhance the quality of care.
