Özet:

ABSTRACT Aim: Study aimed at systematically examining the ultrasound-guided peripheral catheterization in patients in terms of duration of the procedure, the development of the complication and the duration of the catheters. Method: Studies were independently reviewed by the researchers after searching databases "Pubmed", "Google Scholar", "Science Direct", "Cochrane". Studies included if carried out between January 2014 and December 2018, individuals were adult, were descriptive or correlational, and in Turkish or English. Fourteen studies were meeting the inclusion criteria. Variables were; complications of ultrasound guided Peripheral Intravenous catheterization, duration of intervention, duration of catheter placement. The quality of the studies was evaluated using Jadad score and Newcastle Ottawa criteria. Results: According to the studies, the time spent in placing the catheter with the ultrasound was at least 10 seconds and maximum 12 minutes. Duration of catheters stay is related with the distance of the catheters within the vein, the extremity region applied and the life of the catheters. In terms of complication rates, the use of ultrasound was not superior to the standard technique. According to the Jadad score (0-5), randomized controlled trials are rated for a maximum of 3 points and nonrandomized studies are rated at a maximum of 7 points according to Newcastle Ottawa score (0-9). Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided Peripheral Intravenous catheterization is advantageous especially in terms of application time compared to the traditional method, but more detailed studies are needed in terms of the duration of the vessel and the complications that may develop.
