Objective To explore the risk factors and safety infusion protocol of peripheral vasoactive medication. Methods 5 guideline websites and 7 databases were searched from their inception until March 7,2021. We qualitatively described the characteristics of complications,risk factors, and safety infusion protocols of peripheral vasoactive medication. Results A total of 14 articles were incorporated,including 2 guidelines,4 systematic reviews,and 8 original articles. It shows that the safety of peripheral vasoactive medication is affected by drug,patient,and infusion protocol. A guideline and 8 original articles provide the safety infusion protocol,including infusion site,infusion technique,infusion duration,frequency of observation,and management of complications. Conclusion Short-term use of peripheral vasoactive medication is safe and feasible under the whole-process risk assessment and protective strategy.
