| Popis: | 169 cases were included (84 experimental, 85 control) to study the effect of topical anticoagulant ointment in relation to various factors important in the genesis of post-infusion thrombophlebitis. Topical anticoagulant ointment was effective in decreasing the incidence of thrombophlebitis if the duration of infusion was upto 12 hours or less, where the polythene canula and latex rubber tubing set were used for infusion, while it was not effective in decreasing the incidence of thrombophlebitis in relation to pH and osmolality of the fluid and site of infusion. The use of anticoagulant ointment reduced the average number of days of recovery specially in moderate to severe grades of thrombophlebitis. |
