Peripheral catheter care and phlebitis score checklist This peripheral catheter care checklist has been designed in combination with Sarah Hancill RVN and Anne Ward PGCertTLHE DipAVN(Surgical) RVN. The fact that it encourages site observation means that it also has an impact on other peripheral IV catheter problems such as dislodgement, infiltration and infection. Ongoing observation of sites should continue for 48 post removal to detect post-infusion phlebitis. Any incidence of phlebitis greater than grade 2 should be reported to the physician and other appropriate healthcare personnel. All patients with an intravenous access device should have the IV site checked every shift for signs of infusion phlebitis. endstream
