Peripheral venous catheter complications are conditions that are frequently seen in intensive care clinics and require nursing care. The most common complications are phlebitis, infiltration and extravasation. Nurses should take the necessary precautions to prevent these complications from developing.. Therefore, this planned thesis study aims to establish an infusion monitoring system and evaluate its effectiveness in early detection of complications related to peripheral intravenous catheters. The research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted in Ordu State Hospital General Intensive Care Unit 1 and General Intensive Care Unit 3 clinics. The universe of the study will consist of patients receiving inpatient treatment in General Intensive Care Unit 1 and General Intensive Care Unit 3 clinics. The sample size will be determined by g-power analysis after a two-month preliminary follow-up. Data will be collected with the "Clinical Follow-up Form", "Patient Information Form", and "Complication Follow-up Form". The clinics included in the study will be divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. First, the frequency of complications will be determined in the experimental and control groups. Then, while the control group continues its routine protocol and applications, an infusion follow-up system will be developed in the experimental group and will be used by nurses in patient care. In the final stage, the frequency of peripheral venous catheter complications will be determined again. Data will be evaluated using the SPSS 22.0 package program at a significance level of p<0.05 and a confidence interval of 95%.

Electronic monitoring systems can increase the quality of care and patient safety by enabling nurses to gain effective care and application techniques and preventing complications that may develop in patients. In addition, the integration of such technologies into clinical practices can enable nurses to act more consciously. This study can lead to the wider application of technology-based solutions in healthcare services by showing the effects of electronic monitoring systems in patient care and complication management in the scientific literature. Reductions in phlebitis, infiltration and extravasation rates improve clinical outcomes by increasing patient safety and increase the quality of life of patients. It is expected that costs will decrease with the increase in the quality of healthcare services and it is aimed to reduce the workload of nurses. Reductions in complication rates can increase the welfare of individuals by allowing patients to recover faster and shorten the duration of hospital stay. In addition, reductions in health-related complications can help reduce healthcare expenses and ease the financial burden of the state and individuals.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 18 years of age and older
• Receiving medication via peripheral intravenous catheter,
• Monitored daily for signs of phlebitis, infiltration and extravasation,
• Patients who can speak

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unconscious patients

I just want to share the title of the study. I want the method of the study to remain secret for now since the study is not completed.

It can start and be published 3 months after the results are published.

The data obtained from the research can be accessed after being analyzed with a suitable statistical program and the results shared.

In blinding the results, only the person performing the analysis will be blinded.
