    Chemotherapy treatments are given for a long time through the peripheral intravenous damage the epithelial layer of the vessels. This situation causes many complications, affects the fullness and visibility of the vessels, and causes nurses to experience difficulties during peripheral intravenous catheter application. These difficulties may cause patients to experience pain, anxiety, and delay treatment. To prevent these conditions, the first step in peripheral catheter application is to provide vein visibility and venous fullness. For this purpose, there are different techniques such as tourniquet application or swelling of the sphygmomanometer by inserting the arm into the arm, keeping the arm below the heart level, isometric exercise application, tapping the vein with the fingertip, applying the vein and performing local hot application, using ultrasound and infrared rays. In clinics, it is seen that tourniquet, keeping the arm below the heart level and vein tapping techniques are frequently used. Studies on the use of other techniques are being conducted and the effect and technique of use are specified in patient groups receiving chemotherapy. Nurses’ knowledge of these techniques and their use in patients with vascular structure such as patient groups receiving chemotherapy will minimize these difficulties and complications. For this reason, the purpose of this article is to provide evidence-based information about the techniques that provide vein visibility and venous fullness in patients receiving chemotherapy, to attract nurses’ attention to this issue and to ensure that this information is put into practice.
