Reasons for PIVC insertion were for IV fluids (62.4%) and for medication administration (31.8%). Most of the PIVC inserted in the general ward (91.8%) followed by from emergency department. The PIVC insertion was done by the doctor (84.5%). All patients used same brand of cannula which is Vasofix Branulle and used transparent polyurethane dressing. There was 28 (5.7%) patients have sign of thrombophlebitis. Chi square showed that there was significant association between day of PIVC insertion with thrombophlebitis (p=0.006). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the study processes resulted in a small proportion (33.4%) of patients with PIVC with the total number of admission to the 4 wards and 5.7% patients have sign of thrombophlebitis.
