Discussion

Quasi-experimental design evaluated normal saline flush impact on patency in IV therapy patients, indicating reduced phlebitis.

The experimental group maintained patency, with none having phlebitis at 24 hours.
After 48 hours, 86.7% in the experimental group showed no signs of phlebitis.
The control group had 46.7% experiencing medium stages of phlebitis after 72 hours.
Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between groups at P < 0.001.

James et al. (2025) studied this question.
