    AbstractThe authors carried out an analytic study on 2572 patients to reduce the occurrence of phlebitis having a traumatic cause. The authors conclude that the use of extensions after three way valves, or infusion systems and a venous catheter, considerably reduces the risk of traumatic phlebitis occurring. Furthermore, their use reduces 1. the bother patients incur, 2. the amount of work nursing professionals have derived by the appearance of traumatic phlebitis and 3. the cost of health care.
