View clinical trials related to Phlebitis.
Filter by:The use of intravenous (IV) devices is an integral part of patient care in hospitals, clinics, maternity home etc. approximately 80% of hospitalized patients receive I.V therapies. Phlebitis is a complication that is frequently associated with intravenous therapy. Phlebitis is the inflammation of a vein. It most commonly occurs in superficial veins. It is characterized by local pain, tenderness, swelling, induration, and erythema of the venous tract, and a palpable cord-like vein on the infusion site. The most common causes of phlebitis may be mechanical, chemical, and bacterial. Phlebitis may lead to life-threatening complications such as pain, Cellulitis, gangrene and it leads to amputation of the limb. The possibility of clot formation in the veins can lead to serious complications such as deep vein pulmonary embolism, which can cause sudden death. Other complications include septic shock, thrombophlebitis requiring supportive treatment, metastatic infection, the formation of liver abscesses, and endocarditis due to septic emboli. Patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, coronary heart disease, renal failure, hepatic encephalopathy, neurological conditions, and those who are bedridden for extended periods, as well as newborns, face difficulties in maintaining intravenous (IV) cannulas. As a result, needs to maintain central lines for fluids and medication, which is another source of infection. These complications can lead to prolonged hospital stays, increased medical costs, reduced patient satisfaction, and a lower quality of life for the affected individuals. Here the question arises for nurses to check the effectiveness of magnesium sulphate versus cold compress. To find the answer to this question this study will be conducted with the objective of comparing magnesium sulfate versus cold compression on patients with a peripheral intravenous cannula (PIVC) induced phlebitis, hospital-based comparative study and the simple random sampling technique will be used to collect a sample of sixty participants and will be equally distributed into two groups. The study will be conducted in Lahore general hospital Lahore Punjab Pakistan.
In this study, eligible subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group through randomization (1:1). Under the guidance of electrocardiographic Doppler ultrasound guided puncture and catheterization (EDUG) technology, the tunnel puncture method was compared with the conventional puncture method. The two groups of patients were observed and evaluated intraoperative and postoperative 7 ± 3 days, 30 ± 7 days, 60 ± 10 days, and 90 ± 10 days 120 ± 10 days (if any) and the occurrence of complications during extubation or unplanned extubation at the end of treatment, comparing cases in the north and south, as well as complications related to different catheterization methods
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Clobetasol ointment with nitroglycerin ointment on the prevention of superficial phlebitis caused by cannulation. This clinical trial was conducted on 110 patients admitted to the surgical ward, in three groups of Clobetasol, nitroglycerin, and control. The data collection tools included demographic information, information about intravenous treatment and phlebitis measurement scale. In the intervention groups, after venipuncture, 1.5 cm (about 2 g) of ointment was applied in the distal part of the Angio catheter and the site was dressed with sterile gauze. In three time periods of 24, 48 and 72 hours from the time of venipuncture.
