Article Synopsis
- Researchers conducted a study on patients aged 70 and older to evaluate the occurrence of local complications from peripheral venous catheters, focusing on risk factors and their impact on patient outcomes.
- The study involved monitoring 322 patients in a French hospital, revealing an incidence rate of complications at 50.5 per 1000 catheter-days, with factors like dressing replacement and specific medications increasing the risk.
- Findings indicated that complications led to longer hospital stays, suggesting the need for careful clinical monitoring to improve patient care for this age group.
