Introduction: The nursing needs to leave behind all those actions not established by the governing organisms of the same and that everyday perform without thinking and any theoretical-scientific support, increasing with it the possibility of complications to the patient.
Objective: To identify the actions performed by the nursing personal of the Regional University Hospital to restore the permeability of venoclisis.
Methodology: Descriptive transverse study with sampling not probabilistic for convenience with 34 nurses. There was effected an study of shade blinded where the refered actions were compared with the performed during the actions to permeate the venoclisis. Analysis by descriptive statistics was used.
Results: 11.8% referred to use a bolus of physiological infusion and was observed that 41% realized it; 11.8% referred to twist the equipment tube and 20.6% realized it; 11.8% referred to observe if the equipment was doubled and only 3% carried out it; 11.8% referred to check the appropriate height of the saline solution and 3% realized it; 7% affirmed to apply heparin and nobody carried out it.
Conclusions: In presence of blocked venoclisis, it is appropriate to perform procedures of observation before those of action or manipulation. The practice of nursing must be based on the observance of ethical criteria that protect the integrity of the patient.
