Objective: to identify factors that pose difficulties in peripheral venipuncture in adults. Method: in this integrative literature review, with no time cutoff, search of the PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL, SciELO, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, in January 2018, yielded 12 articles for inclusion. These were examined for year, country of publication, associated factors, and level of evidence. Results: publications were found from 2003 to 2017. The prevalence of difficult peripheral venipuncture ranged from 17% to 59.3%. The most frequent factors making for difficult puncture were: demographic (gender, age), clinical (comorbidities, nutritional status, visibility and palpability of the venous network), device-related (caliber and model), and professional skill. Conclusion: difficulty in puncture varies with complexity of care. Demographic-, clinical-, device- and professional skill-related factors should be considered.
RESUMO
Objetivo: identificar os fatores que dificultam a punção venosa periférica em adultos. Método: revisão integrativa da literatura, sem recorte temporal. A busca dos artigos ocorreu no mês de janeiro de 2018 nas seguintes bases de dados: PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL, SciELO, Web of Science e Scopus, com inclusão de 12 artigos. Foram analisados quanto ao ano, país de publicação, fatores associados e nível de evidência. Resultados: foram encontradas publicações de 2003 a 2017. A prevalência da punção venosa periférica difícil variou entre 17% e 59,3%. Entre os fatores que dificultam a punção, os mais frequentes foram: demográficos (sexo, idade) , clínicos (comorbidades, estado nutricional, visibilidade e palpabilidade da rede venosa), do dispositivo (calibre e modelo) e a habilidade do profissional. Conclusão: a dificuldade para punção é variável de acordo com a complexidade assistencial. Fatores demográficos e clínicos, do dispositivo e a habilidade do profissional devem ser considerados.

El análisis se hizo respecto al año, al país de publicación, a los factores asociados y al nivel de evidencia. Resultados: se encontraron publicaciones entre 2003 y 2017. La prevalencia de punción venosa periférica difícil osciló entre un 17% y un 59.3%. Entre los factores que dificultan la punción, los más frecuentes fueron: demográficos (género, edad), clínicos (comorbilidades, estado nutricional, visibilidad y cuán palpable es la red venosa), el dispositivo (calibre y modelo) y la habilidad del profesional. Conclusión: la dificultad en la punción varía según la complejidad de la atención. Deben considerarse factores demográficos y clínicos, del dispositivo y la habilidad del profesional.
