Filter by:This study discusses the advancements in nursing, particularly focusing on intramuscular injections, their complications, and innovative non-pharmacological methods such as the Shotblocker and palm stimulator to reduce pain. These methods, based on the gate control theory, aim to minimize discomfort during injections by applying tactile stimulation, which has proven effective in various studies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of meloxicam nanocrystal injection in subjects with moderate to severe pain after abdominal surgery.
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Labor pain is one of the most excruciating pain experienced by women. It affects maternal psychology and the course of labor causing apprehension, anxiety, and stress. Therefore there is a need for a safe and effective analgesic with minimal maternal and fetal side effects like intravenous paracetamol which has been shown to have great analgesic effect in labour with minimal maternal and neonatal side effects. OBJECTIVE: To compare intravenous paracetamol versus intramuscular tramadol as labour analgesia and to evaluate the incidence of side effects on mother and baby of both drugs. METHOD: This would be a hospital based randomized controlled trial comparing intravenous paracetamol to intramuscular tramadol as labour analgesia in pregnant women in active phase of labour in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Alex-Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital and St. Patrick Mile 4 hospital, Abakaliki. A total of 194 pregnant women in active phase of labour will be included in study after fulfilling the inclusion criteria. These women will be divided into 2 groups of 97 each. Group A will receive a 100ml intravenous infusion containing 1000mg of paracetamol single dose over 15min. Group B: will receive intramuscular tramadol hydrochloride 100mg single dose. Pain intensity of women with both drugs will be noted before administration of drug, one hour, two hours and three hours after administration of drug using the visual analog scale. Perinatal outcome will also be recorded. 10 ANALYSIS AND RESULTS: Data will be collated, tabulated and then statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (IBM SPSS) software (version 24, Chicago II, USA). Continuous variables will be presented as mean and standard deviation (Mean ± 2SD) or median and range as appropriate, while categorical variables will be presented as frequencies and percentages. Chi-square test( or Fisher's exact test where applicable) will be used for comparison between groups for categorical variables while student t test or Mann-Whitney U test will be used for comparison between groups for continuous variables KEYWORDS Labour analgesia, intravenous paracetamol, intramuscular tramadol, visual analog scale, neonate, side effects.
The research was conducted to evaluate the effects of three different non-pharmacological methods (playing a music video, buzzy application, listening to a music video + buzzy application) on the pain and anxiety levels of children in the 4-12 age group during vascular access. H0.1. Playing music (music video) during the vascular access procedure has no effect on children's pain and anxiety levels. H0.2. Applying buzzy during the vascular access procedure has no effect on children's pain and anxiety levels. H0.3. Listening to a music video + applying buzzy during the vascular access procedure has no effect on children's pain and anxiety levels.
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.
It is an experimental study conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of cold application to the LI4 point of the hand to reduce/eliminate pain, nausea and anxiety in postoperative patients. The population of the study consisted of 116 individuals who underwent abdominal surgery with the open surgery method in a state hospital between February 2022 and November 2022 and were followed up in the inpatient ward. The study was completed with 80 individuals constituting the experimental group (n=40) and the control group (n=40). Patient information form, Mcgill Melzack short pain form, Visual Analog Scale, STAI - TX and Cold Application Evaluation Form were used to collect data. Patients in the experimental group underwent cold application with ice cubes for a total of 20 minutes as 2 minutes of cold application and 15 seconds of waiting 4-6 hours after the patient was admitted to the clinic after surgical intervention. Follow-up was performed before cold application, immediately after cold application, 30 minutes after the end of cold application, 1 hour and 2 hours after the end of cold application.
This experimental study aimed to determine the effect of distracting children with a kaleidoscope during blood sampling on their perception of pain during the procedure and to increase and improve the quality of evidence for the effectiveness of these methods across different populations and cultures. Hypothesis 0 (H0): There is no difference between the pain scores of the kaleidoscope group and the control group during blood sampling. Hypothesis 1 (H1): There is a difference between the pain scores of the kaleidoscope group and the control group during blood sampling.
The conventional method used for dental anesthesia in children is the administration of a local anesthetic solution by injection. Although this process successfully eliminates pain during the procedure, it continues to be a problem for many children in terms of dental anxiety before and during anesthesia administration. The aim of this study is to compare intraosseous anesthesia with SleeperOne® 5, a computer-assisted local anesthesia system, with conventional local anesthesia techniques in terms of pain and anxiety.
Investigate the prevalence of PADIS in EICU, as well as the awareness and clinical implementation status of medical staff towards PADIS. The investigators conducted a multicenter cross-sectional survey in mainland China, including a one-day point prevalence investigation and a questionnaire survey. The inclusion criteria encompassed all adult patients admitted to the participating emergency department intensive care units (EDICUs) during the on-site screening, while exclusion criteria comprised patients aged less than 18 years, EDICU stays duration less than 24 hours before the screening, and participation in other concurrent trials. Hospital and nursing records from the 24 hours preceding enrollment were examined to document the assessment rate of pain, agitation-sedation, and delirium. Physicians and nurses on duty 24 hours before the patients' enrollment was invited to complete the questionnaire survey regarding the ICU profiles, professional expertise, assessment and treatment of PAD, early mobilization, and sleep improvement practices.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding omega 3 and dipeptiven to standard feeding in head and neck patients who will undergo oral cavity tumour resection or mandibular tumour resection (immunonutrrition mixture) on wound infection, fistula formation and length of hospital stay ,total dose of intraoperative and postoperative opioids (opioid consumption and pain incidence ,mortality and other postoperative complications as urinary tract infection (UTI) and pneumonia.
