Nursing Care of Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion Site Infection Following Ganciclovir Infusion in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
This case report summarizes the nursing experience of managing a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion site infection following ganciclovir infusion in a pediatric patient with infectious mononucleosis. Through a comprehensive intervention incorporating skin care, pain management, nutritional support, psychological intervention, and diversified health education, the infection was effectively controlled and wound healing was promoted, with the pediatric patient ultimately achieving a favorable recovery and successful discharge. This case provides a practical reference for the prevention and management of PIVC insertion site infections caused by strongly alkaline medications in pediatric clinical practice, as well as for enhancing the safety of intravenous therapy.
