Clinical study of preventive effect of traditional Chinese medicine wet compress on vein puncture sclerosis / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of self decoction wet compress on puncture venous sclerosis.Methods 180 patients received intravenous therapy,they were randomly divided into group A,group B and group C,60 cases in each group.Group A was given with Traditional Chinese medicine decoction(rhubarb 20g,Xuan Ming powder 20g,Cortex Phellodendri 15g,20g purslane fried together) for in the direction of blood vessel along the direction of the blood vessel after operation of conventional intravenous infusion,8 layer 10cm×5cm sterile gauze soaked wet,then covered with plastic wrap plastic to the end of infusion 30 min after removal.Group B was given with Traditional Chinese medicine decoction at the end of intravenous infusion at the puncture point along the direction of the blood vessels,8 layer 10cm×5cm sterile gauze soaked wet and then with plastic wrap plastic cover 6h after removing.Group C was given with routine intravenous infusion operation without wet compress intervention.In 3d,5d,vein elasticity of each group was assessed,the normal was effective,mild,moderate and severe hardening was invalid.Results After 3d,5d treatment,the effective rates of group A were 100.0%,91.7% respectively,which in group B were 100.0%,81.7%,respectively,the effective rate at 5d had statistically significant difference between group A and group B (x2=5.17,P<0.05);after 3d,5d treatment,the effective rates of group C were 71.7%,60.0%,and the effective rate at 5 d had statistically significant difference compared with group B and group A (x2=21.07,6.82,all P<0.01).Conclusion The effect of intravenous infusion process to local decoction wet compress on the prevention of venous puncture hardening is significant,and the method is simple,has non-toxic side effects,it is worthy of clinical application.
