Time to occurrence and predictors of peripheral intravenous cannula-induced complications among pediatrics patients in Debre Birhan City public hospitals, Ethiopia, 2025

Peripheral intravenous cannula induced complications tend to occur after a relatively prolonged dwell time. Parental education, mask use, insertion set kit, side of cannulation, cannula dressing, and blood administration were predictors for these complications. Therefore, targeted interventions like ensuring mask use, insertion kits, and proper dressing practices may reduce complications and improve pediatric outcomes.
