Filter by:Low molecular weight heparin is a drug with anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects. This drug is frequently administered subcutaneously to patients by nurses. Complications such as pain, ecchymosis and hematoma may commonly occur at the injection site. This study investigated the effect of Hypericum Perforatum oil in preventing pain and ecchymosis after subcutaneous injection low molecular weight heparin. This quasi-experimental and single blinded study was conducted with 160 patients in a coronary intensive care unit. The researcher nurse applied 5-6 drops of Hypericum Perforatum oil to one arm of the patients 2 hours before the injection. The other arm of the patient was considered as the control arm. A total of 320 injections were administered. The evaluation of the injection sites was performed by two other researchers at 48th hours. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and McNemar test.
Study to analyze whether there is a difference in postoperative outcome regarding edema, ecchymosis, pain, OSI and discomfort of the patients after blepharoplasty if a compression dressing is used or not.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular system disease. According to the World Health Organization data, CAD ranks first among the top 10 causes of death. According to the 2014 data of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), deaths due to circulatory system diseases are in the first place with 40.4%, and 39.6% of this is ischemic heart diseases. The prevalence of CAD in Turkey is 12% in women and 14% in men. The diagnosis of CAD is largely made on non-invasive tests. Coronary angiography (CAG) is recommended for definitive diagnosis and detection of coronary stenosis. CAG is defined as the manual delivery of contrast material through a catheter sent to the coronary arteries under fluoroscopy and recording the resulting image on a CD. With special catheters advanced through a plastic sheath called a sheath placed in the access tract, contrast agents are administered separately to the left main coronary (LDA) and right main coronary arteries (RCA), and images of the coronary arteries are taken in multiple positions. Complications related to diagnostic and therapeutic CAG are rare, but vary according to the patient's condition, operator's experience, and the type of procedure. The most common vascular complications are bleeding, hematoma, ecchymosis, pseudoaneurysm, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, arteriovenous fistula. Preventing complications before they develop is actually shown as the most successful treatment. For this reason, it is recommended to use a small-diameter catheter during CAG, to enter the main femoral artery carefully, to interrupt anticoagulant treatment before the procedure, to apply manual compression to the area for at least 20 minutes after the procedure, and to use percutaneous closure devices, which is another method. After the procedure, pressure is applied with a sandbag, manual compression, and a pneumatic compression device. In the sandbag method, a 3-4.5 kg sandbag is placed after the bleeding is controlled by manual pressure on the femoral region where the intervention is made. During this period, the patient's movements are restricted and he is asked to lie flat on his back. In the use of the pneumatic compression device, a pneumatic compression device (closepad) with a transparent window and balloon incision is placed to maintain the compression on the femoral artery after a short period of manual compression. However, it is not preferred because of the risk of embolism and high cost. In addition to pressure applications, local cold application is effective in preventing perivascular complications. Cold application controls bleeding by reducing capillary blood flow and capillary permeability by vasoconstriction of arterioles. In addition, it reduces the flow rate of the blood and increases its viscosity, thereby making it coagulate. It controls bleeding by blood coagulation, reduced capillary permeability and metabolic requirements. This situation reduces the development of ecchymosis and hematoma. Considering this information, cold application can be preferred for the prevention of hematoma and ecchymosis, which are the most common complications after CAG, because it is practical, inexpensive and comfort-enhancing. The number of studies in the literature in which cold application and pressure application are used together is limited. Based on this information, the current study was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of cold pressure application for the prevention of hematoma and ecchymosis in the CAG intervention area. The hypotheses of the research; H0: Cold pressure application has no effect on the prevention of hematoma and ecchymosis in the CAG intervention area. H1: Cold pressure application has an effect on the prevention of hematoma and ecchymosis in the CAG intervention area.
The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of topical Tranexamic acid application in overcoming periorbital ecchymosis and edema after rhinoplasty, which are common and do not have a standard treatment.
In this study, investigators wanted to investigate the effect of volatile anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on ecchymosis, edema, and intraoperative bleeding in rhinoplasty.
Aim of the present study is to investigate the efficiency of adrenaline (epinephrine) used locally in reducing and avoiding post-operative formation of subcutaneous ecchymoses and hematomas, in comparison with traditional practice of hemostasis, and to assess improvement in the quality of life of subjects undergoing classic great saphenous vein stripping, who received or did not receive adrenaline as a local hemostatic.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of three different cold application methods on ecchymosis and pain in the injection site in patients who received DMAH injection from the SC route. In the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the research universe will be composed of the patients who underwent DMAH from the SC path in Internal Medicine Service at a State Hospital under the Ministry of Health. The sample will consist of patients who meet the research criteria, who are informed about the purpose of the research, and who are willing to participate after obtaining the permission of the Ethics Committee and institution. The sample will consist of patients who meet the research criteria, who are informed about the purpose of the research, and who are willing to participate after obtaining the permission of the Ethics Committee and institution. The sample size (d=0.785) was found by reference from the article "effect of ice application on ecchymosis formation in patients undergoing subcutaneous anticoagulant therapy" by Küçükgüçlü and Okumu (2010) and the sample size required for 1-β=0.95 (power) in α=0.05 was n = 38. Patient Data Sheet, SC Road injection tracking chart, Visual Analog scale, Opsite - Flexigrid measurement tool, Mekano-analgesia (Buzzy) device, local coolant spray and acetate Pen will be used for data collection. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 software will be used for statistical analysis of research data. If the data set matches the normal distribution, parametric hypothesis tests will be used, and if the data set does not match the normal distribution, nonparametric hypothesis tests will be used.
During surgery, blood leaking from damaged blood vessels spread to the periorbital area may cause periorbital edema and ecchymosis after anterior craniotomy. This study was carried out to determine the effects of the cold application and the local heparinoid on periorbital edema and ecchymosis after craniotomy.
Fifty-five patients received three subcutaneous heparin injections (165 injections) by the same investigator using additional techniques such as mechano-analgesia and cold application, and without any additional techniques.
The study evaluate the effectiveness of dry cold application on pain intensity and bruise at the subcutaneous injection site among patients admitted in medical I.C.U. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 hospitalized patients (30 in experimental and 30 in comparison group). Dry cold was applied to the subcutaneous injection site using ice bag filled with crushed ice with half table spoon of salt for 20 minutes after the administration of injection and no intervention was given in comparison group.
