Application of self-designed infusion pressing paster and buckle among patients with poor infusion compliance

Abstract

Objective To explore the application of self-designed infusion pressing paster and buckle on subcutaneous hemorrhage and blood stasis among patients with poor infusion compliance. Methods Totals of 800 infusion patients over 60 years old and having chronic disease and 800 children with scalp needle infusion were randomly divided into two groups by the visit date of even and odd number. The patients of test group used infusion pressing paster and pressing buckle on odd visit date, but the patients of control group were treated with conventional cotton press on the even visit date. Results The incidence of subcutaneous hemorrhage, blood stasis in the test group were significantly decreased to 1.25% and 1.75% lower than 7.75% and 9.75% of control group (χ2=19.663, 13.619; P<0.01). Among children and blood stasis were 4.25% and 3.00% of test group compared with 15.75% and 13.50% of control group (χ2=29.389, 29.131; P<0.01). Conclusions The use of self-designed infusion pressing paster and buckle are simple and practical. They effectively reduce the incidence of subcutaneous hemorrhage, blood stasis and hematoma complications in patients with poor infusion compliance. They ensure the safety of nursing care quality and improve patient′s satisfaction. It is suitable for clinical use. Key words: Nursing; Infusion; Pressing paster; Pressing buckle; Hemostasis
