TL;DR
Use of solutions containing low-dose heparin is recommended for children who might have problems with venous access, and a dextrose-saline solution manufactured under commercial conditions and containing 1 IU per ml of Heparin prolongs the use of infusion sites in children is recommended.
Abstract
Use of solutions containing low-dose heparin is recommended for children who might have problems with venous access.

Efficient methods of analysis of randomized clinical trials in which the authors wish to compare the duration of survival among different groups of patients are described.

Effective prophylaxis should be based on an understanding of the possible pathophysiology of infusion thrombophlebitis, and the duration of infusion, the drugs infused and the solution(s) infused are the most important.

A signficant decrease in the incidence of cannula‐related phlebitis was also noted in patients receiving subcutaneous low dose heparin (5000 units 8‐hourly), which may be due to inhibition of fibrin clot formation around the tip of the indwelling intravenous cannula.

It is concluded that infusion phlebitis is a common problem in hospitalized patients and its incidence can be effectively reduced by transdermal glyceryl trinitrate.

Risks of nonpatency are greatest in women with short nonfemoral lines who do not receive other anticoagulants or thrombolytics and have nonheparinized flush solutions and chances for patency are great in men with long femoral lines, who receive other anti-atherosclerotic drugs and heparinization flush solutions.

Self-adhesive patches which release glyceryl trinitrate at a slow continuous rate or placebo patches were applied to the skin of patients distal to intravenous infusion sites in a double-blind manner and frequency of infusion failure was three times lower than with placebo patches.

Heparinization of intravenous alimentation solutions should be considered in premature infants as a means of reducing the work load and incidence of complications associated with peripheral lines.

In these general surgical patients, inline filters did not affect the incidence of PIP or bacterial colonization of i.v. catheters, and their routine use as a means of reducing PIP is unwarranted.
American Journal of Health-System PharmacyEffect of filtration on complications of postoperative intravenous therapy
39 Citations1979William J. Rusho, Jan N. Bair
Final filters can be used to reduce the incidence of phlebitis-related i.v. complications and thereby reduce the length of hospital stay in postoperative patients whose infusions were filtered through inline final filters.

It is suggested that failure of infusions because of phlebitis or extravasation usually results from irritation of the endothelium by the infusate, inducing venoconstriction.

Low-dose heparin infusion in peripheral venous catheters in neonates increased the duration of intravenous catheter patency without increased risks of bleeding, infection, phlebitis, or extravasation injury.

It will be shown that the complications of local complications of intravenous infusions can be significantly reduced by buffering the infusion fluids.

25 Citations1983Mayer Bassan, Daud Sheikh-Hamad
It is concluded that infusion of lidocaine causes a high incidence of phlebitis which can be markedly reduced by adding heparin or hydrocortisone (or both) to the infusate and limiting the duration of the infusion in a given vein to 24 hours.

Multivariate analysis suggested that survival was improved with ampicillin and aminophylline and worse for leg sites, for older babies and for infusions in which the fluids were given at greater rater and also indicated that neutralization of TPN improved survival.

A prospective, double-blind investigation into the effectiveness of the addition to infusion fluids of an injectable containing 0.3 mg prednisolone and 10 units heparin per ml in a phosphate buffer pH=7·5 versus the phosphate buffer alone is described.

Adding heparin to 10 per cent dextrose and to total parenteral nutrition solutions infused into peripheral veins of premature babies suggests that 0.5iu/ml may be sufficient to prolong the survival of peripheral intravenous sites in premature babies.
