| Popis: | Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of phlebitis and compare the effectiveness of topical ichthammol glycerin and heparinoid application on phlebitis among patients receiving intravenous therapy. Background: The incidence of thrombophlebitis varies and various treatment modalities are available for treating phlebitis. Design: Quasi experimental design. Method: The study was conducted in the general medical, surgical and orthopaedic wards among 90 patients. Cluster randomization technique was used to allocate the wards to each interventional group. Consecutive sampling technique was used to select the subjects from each ward. Subjects were observed for 48 hours with an interval of 12 hours. Visual infusion phlebitis scale and numeric pain intensity scale were used to collect data. |
