Venous therapy is an indispensable component of modern medicine, but the use of venous catheters may lead to complications such as infection, phlebitis, and catheter blockage. The latest progress in catheter maintenance and complication management to improve safety and effectiveness shows that the use of anticoagulant and antibacterial sealing liquids, innovative dressings and fixation techniques, and timely catheter evaluation and removal are crucial for reducing complications. Meanwhile, effective management strategies for complications related to venous catheters include strict operational standardization, professional training and education, selection of high-quality materials, and implementation of fast and effective monitoring and response mechanisms. In addition, strengthening education and training, as well as infection prevention and control, are also key to ensuring patient safety and require continuous attention and improvement.
