This is a prospective observational, quantitative study which was done over a period of nine months (January 2010 until September 2010) among the patients with Peripheral Vascular Catheter (PVC) in the Surgical Wards in Hospital Umum Sarawak. The aims of this study were to examine the incidence of PVC related phlebitis and at the same time tried to identify factors affecting the incidence and also its relation. A total of thirty patients (n=30) participated in this study. A data collection tool was devised based on a modified Central Venous Catheter(CVC) Care bundle used in the hospital’s ICU and incorporated some elements from the PVC Care Bundle developed by the Scottish Patient Safety Program me in 2008. In contrast to the usual findings in the literatures, the author found that the insertion of PVCs in the veins around the forearm increased the risk of phlebitis. Aside from that, the person and the skills in inserting the PVCs and the size of the cannula also contribute to the rates of the phlebitis. Thus it may be concluded that the site of venous puncture, cannula size and the skills in performing the PVC insertion procedure as very important in reducing the risk of phlebitis. Aside from that, it is also recommended that education and training of healthcare providers is to be given the highest priority in ensuring high standards of care for patients with PVCs.
