5EFFECTIVENESS OF GLYCERINE MAGSULF APPLICATION VERSUS HOT FOMENTATION IN RELIEVING PHLEBITIS AMONG IV CANNULATED PATIENTS IN A SELECTED HOSPITAL, MANGALORE6

B'&e 'e(*me o !"e &$!e$%e% 7o'8 I$!'o%*#!&o$ Today in hospital setting, intravenous (IV) therapy has become a major component of patient care. Intravascular lines are used for purposes varying from monitoring pressures, administering drugs and fluids. A common problem encountered during IV therapy is the phlebitis, ie the inflammation of the venous wall near the point of entry of the cannula into the veins. It is often due to patient movement and disruption of vein at the site of insertion of the cannula. The patients who are on cytoto ic drugs, hyper osmolar agents and vaso active drugs are more prone to phlebitis. The Infusion !urses "ociety !ational standards of practice (Australia) stated that a nurse who administers IV medication or fluid must #now its adverse effects and appropriate interventions to be ta#en before starting the infusion$. Although many strategies to reduce this failure have been suggested, because of its multi factorial etiology, IV administration still continues to fail. %ence nurses need to be aware of and consider certain interventions to reduce phlebitis when managing IV therapy in patients. 1.1 Nee% o' !"e (!*%, IV medication administration refers to the process of giving medication directly into a patient&s vein. All medication administration carries certain ris#s, but IV therapy adds another level of comple ity. 'ven when the nurse follows the (five rights) she can go wrong if the practices do not meet the standard of care for intravenous therapy *. +hlebitis is a common complication associated with the use of peripheral IV catheters, affecting between *,- and ,.- of all clients receiving intravenous therapy. The cause may be mechanical, chemical, or bacterial, with bacterial being rarest. +hlebitis is painful, and cause discomfort to patients. /ost often it results in recannulation, not only incurs e tra costs but also ta#es up staff time. "igns and symptoms of phlebitis are painful intravenous site, sluggish flow rate, red lines visible above the venepuncture site and edema0.
