Chest Tube Removal Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of Cold Application on Pain During Chest Tube Removal: A Randomized Controlled Trial : A CONSORT Compliant Article
Abstract Objectives: Use of analgesics is the most common method to alleviate the pain
induced by chest tube removal (CTR), but patient response to medication can vary and may not
be achieved complete relaxation. This study was to determine the effectiveness of cold
application in combination with standard analgesic administration before CTR on CTR-induced
pain.
Methods: A prospective, randomized, single-blind, placebo sham-controlled study was
conducted. In addition to the same routine care, subjects in the experimental group (n = 30)
received cold application of 600 g ice packs 15 minutes before CTR, whereas subjects in the
placebo sham group (n = 30) received tap water packs. Numerical rating scale was used to
measured pain intensity before, immediately after, and 10 minutes after CTR.
