The effect of three method bandage on sings phlebitis to using Intravenous Catheter

Message:
Abstract:
Background And Objective
first intravenous catheter used in1945. The most important of which is phlebitis. We decided to compare the Sign of phlebitis in using handplast leucoplast and sterile gauze bandage.
Materials And Methods
This clinical trial study was carried out on 205(26.1± 5.6) clients hospitalized in Deziani hospitalGorgan fell into handplast (N=95) and leucoplast (N=59) and sterile gauze bandage(N=51)group. First a check list was used to collect demographic data. After that the same one inserted the venous catheter for all subjects in a perfect sterile condition then placed the handplast leucoplast and sterile gauze bandage one catheter site. After 24 36 and 48 hours the place was studied about the sign of phlebitis. We were non –parametric test chi square. T test and odds ration to analyze the data.
Results
The result shows that the rate of sign phlebitis in both groups was 13.2%(24h)28.8%(36h)and49.2%(48h).Chi-square shows that there is no significant difference between three groups in 24h36h and 48h. But odd ration of sign phlebitis is reported in leucoplast with sterile gauze bandage espy in 36h. [R.R=1.998; CI 95 %(1.053 - 3.794)].
Conclusion
it seems there effect of both leucoplast and handplast with sterile gauze bandage on preventing from sign phlebitis is the same.
