RESUMO:Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de flebite relacionada ao uso de dispositivos intravenosos periféricos em crianças em um hospital universitário. Método: Estudo descritivo e retrospectivo, quantitativo, com base em dados provenientes da ficha de notificação de flebite relacionada à terapia intravenosa periférica, no período de junho de 2011 a junho de 2014, da unidade de terapia intensiva pediátrica, na cidade de Curitiba-PR. Resultados: De um total de 1306 cateteres, foram notificados 339 casos de flebite (prevalência de 26%) no período de três anos. A prevalência de flebite foi de 34% nas crianças de 0 a 2 anos e de 30,2% (n=179) PREVALENCE OF PHLEBITIS RELATED TO THE USE OF PERIPHERAL INTRAVENOUS DEVICES IN CHILDRENABSTRACT: Objective: To assess the prevalence of phlebitis, related to the use of peripheral intravenous devices in children in a teaching hospital. Method: A quantitative, descriptive and retrospective study, based in data taken from the phlebitis notification form related to peripheral intravenous therapy, in June 2011 -June 2014, in a pediatric intensive care unit in the city of Curitiba, in the Brazilian state of Paraná (PR). Results: Of a total of 1306 catheters, 339 cases of phlebitis were notified (prevalence of 26%) in the threeyear period. The prevalence of phlebitis was 34% in children aged from 0 to 2 years and was 30.2% (n=179) among female children. Regarding the classification of the cases of phlebitis, 82.6% (n=280) were Grade 1, and the mean dwell-time of the device was 49.92 ± 43.19 hours. Conclusion: The data presented here demonstrate a high prevalence of phlebitis in pediatric patients, and the need to seek measures capable of reducing these events.
