Phlebitis segregated by a superficial spreading process, signaled by edema, pain, hyperemia and local hardening. This study sought the knowledge of the nursing staff to comply with the signs and their classification in a phlebitis in hospitalized and observing patients. Two questionnaires elaborated by the authors were applied, in the UPA and in a Hospital, in a city in the interior of São Paulo. Twenty-four women participated in the study, with the majority of women, with a mean age of 44 years and 18 patients, being 61.11% women and 38.88% men, with a mean age of 60 years. Of the professionals, 100% of the UPA and 94.12% of the H, agreed to change the puncture situation, the presence of hyperemia, edema, purulent discharge, non-local hardening or around the puncture; 50% of the UPA and 47.05% of the H choose the locations near the most large catheters during puncture; 21.34% of patients with puncture site hyperemia, 7.34% plus hardening hyperemia and UPA patients are not altered effects. The most common puncture site was the cubital fossa in 75% of UPA patients and 21.45% of H. Most patients underwent catheterization, with 14.28% of patients with puncture site hyperemia, 7; 14% after edema and no UPA patients hearing change. It is important that women have knowledge of ways to prevent and prevent the disease, as it is a prolonged factor of the patient's length of stay.
