Objective To conduct a retrospective analysis of the clinical data related to the application of pediatric venous indwelling needles, identify the risk factors in nursing work, summarize targeted preventive measures, and provide a reference basis for reducing the incidence of complications and improving the quality of pediatric venous treatment nursing. Methods The clinical data of 100 children admitted to the pediatric department and undergoing venous indwelling needle puncture and infusion treatment from October 2024 to October 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. The age, gender, puncture site, indwelling time, nursing operation conditions, and occurrence of complications of the children were sorted out. The risk factors of nursing were summarized and statistically analyzed. Results Among the 100 children, a total of 14 complications such as phlebitis, fluid leakage, catheter blockage, accidental dislodgement, and puncture site infection occurred, with a total incidence rate of 14.00%. The retrospective analysis showed that the main nursing risk factors were the children's younger age, poor vascular condition, poor cooperation, non-standard fixation methods, non-standard flushing and sealing procedures, inadequate rounds and observation, and insufficient knowledge of family members in care. Conclusion The nursing risk factors for pediatric venous indwelling needles are relatively prominent. Through retrospective analysis, the high-risk links were identified, and systematic nursing countermeasures were implemented, which can effectively reduce the incidence of complications and improve the safety and quality of pediatric venous treatment nursing.
