Abstract
Objective: To review the research progress of peripheral venous access difficulty assessment tools in children and to provide a reference for clinical nurses to select and develop appropriate assessment tools. Methods: Search the literature at home and abroad and summarize and analyze the existing evaluation tools. Results: There is no unified assessment tool about difficult venous access in children at home and abroad. The existing tools include the difficult venous access assessment scale and peripheral venous grading assessment tool. Conclusion: The current assessment tools for venous access difficulties in children have their own limitations, and it is necessary to develop further the assessment tools suitable for the cultural background of children’s venous access difficulties. This paper summarized the current progress of research on peripheral venous access difficulty assessment tools. It also analyzed and summarized the shortcomings of existing tools to provide a reference for clinical staff to choose appropriate assessment tools.
