Abstract

Objective: to analyze sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with the occurrence of phlebitis in children using central venous catheters. Methods: cross-sectional study conducted in a pediatric intensive care unit of a public hospital. The sample included children from birth to 14 years, 11 months, and 29 days. Data were collected using the Portuguese Phlebitis Scale (Brazilian-adapted and validated version). Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed. Results: a total of 101 children participated, predominantly male (59.4%), most aged 0–5 years (77.2%) and enrolled in preschool (82.2%). In 61.4% of cases, the catheter remained in place for ≥ 6 days, and 71.3% had involvement of only one organ system. Phlebitis was identified in 30.7% of the sample and was significantly associated with catheter dwell time ≥ 6 days (p<0.000). Conclusion: in children, phlebitis was associated with catheter dwell time of 6 days or longer. Contributions to practice: the findings underscore the need for systematic surveillance and rigorous catheter-monitoring protocols to prevent and promptly detect associated complications.
