What is the main cause of phlebitis

Phlebitis such a disease, we must actively treat up, in fact, the symptoms of serious diseases are very prominent, so for the occurrence of such a disease, we must actively find the main cause of the disease, then what is the main cause of phlebitis disease?


Environmental factors (20%) :


The cold and humid environment will make the warm air in the body easy to coagulate in the veins, and after being cold, vascular spasm, vascular intima damage, slow blood flow, increased blood viscosity, and increased coagulation will lead to venous thrombosis.


High blood concentration (25%) :


Lower limb trauma, surgery, large area burns, pregnancy and postpartum, platelet increase, and release clotting factors, so that the blood composition changes, a hypercoagulable state, providing a hotbed for the formation of phlebitis.


Long-term infusion (20%) :


Long-term catheters for continuous infusion can cause direct damage to the vein wall, or damage the vein wall due to various mechanical impact reasons, resulting in inflammation.


Squatting (10%) :


Can cause poor blood flow, ischemia, hypoxia, blood vessel damage, intima damage, increased venous pressure, leading to venous thrombosis.


The pathology of phlebitis:


Intravenous infusion of various antibiotics or hyperosmotic glucose solution or direct mechanical damage to the vein wall, as well as long-term varicose veins caused by blood stasis, etc., resulting in damage to the intima of the vein, formation of thrombosis, rapid inflammation of the entire superficial vein wall, and even involving the surrounding tissues of the vein, exudate, and local manifestations of pain, swelling and tenderness of the cord column. It is often accompanied by systemic reactions, but rarely serious.
