objective: to identify the relationship between risk factors for vascular trauma and the emergence of adverse events of infiltration or phlebitis for antineoplastic chemotherapy. methods: a study with a quantitative, observational method with 30 women with breast cancer. results: the type of catheter material presented an association that suggested risk (rr = 2.76, ci = 1.199, 6.369); the infusion rate factor presented rr = 2.22, however, ci = 0.7672, 6.436; the trajectory factors, number of punctures and vein mobility presented rr %26lt;1, but these cannot be considered as protective factors. insertion site and the visibility of the vein presented a risk close to 1. conclusion: the use of a metal catheter for venipuncture was considered in this study as a factor for risk for vascular trauma. an analysis of the association for the rr showed these results were consistent with the research literature data.
