Abstract
“A study to assess the effectiveness of ice pack application on pain and inflammation response during intravenous cannula insertion among patients admitted in Government General Hospital, At Puducherry.”
Intravenous fluid therapy is an invasive procedure which may increase the risk of patient complications. One of the most common of these is phlebitis, which may cause discomfort and tissue damage. Therefore, a nursing intervention is needed to effectively treat phlebitis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of applying a warm compression intervention to reduce the degree of phlebitis. A quasi-experimental study with nonequivalent control group pre-test-post-test design was used for the study with objective to compare the efficacy
of cold application in relieving phlebitis among patients receiving intravenous therapy. Convenient sampling technique was used for selecting 30 patients having phlebitis; phlebitis was assessed using visual infusion phlebitis scale. The findings of the present study suggest that ice pack application was effective on phlebitis.
