Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The intravenous cannulation can have undesirable effects, of which most common is phlebitis due to mechanical, chemical, or infectious cause. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of glycerine magnesium sulphate application on reduction of thrombophlebitis among patients received intravenous infusion. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the level of thrombophlebitis among patients received intravenous infusion. 2. To assess the effectiveness of glycerine magnesium sulphate application on reduction of thrombophlebitis among patients received intravenous infusion. 3. To find the association between the post test level of thrombophlebitis among patients received intravenous infusion with their selected demographic variables. METHOD: Study design was true experimental, pre test-post test design. 60 patients with thrombophlebitis received intravenous infusion were recruited by simple random sampling technique (N=30) at experimental group received glycerine magnesium sulphate application intervention over the site of thrombophlebitis twice a day for 3 days. Pre test and post test were done with modified Visual Infusion Phlebitis scale by observation method. RESULT: Statistical analysis revealed that the post test mean score of thrombophlebitis in experimental group was 6.5 ± 1.5 whereas in the control group was 9.5 ± 2.4. The mean difference was 3. The obtained ‘t’value 7.5 was significant at 0.01 level. CONCLUSION: Findings revealed that glycerine magnesium sulphate application is effective in reduction of thrombophlebitis among patient received intravenous infusion.
