How would phlebitis at the iv site look?

Phlebitis at the IV site typically presents as redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness along the vein where the IV catheter is placed. The skin may appear inflamed, and there may be a palpable cord-like structure along the vein. In more severe cases, there could be the development of a rash or the formation of a blood clot. Prompt assessment and intervention are essential to prevent complications.
