Effect evaluation of two kinds of wet dressing on peripheral phlebitis above stage II

Abstract

Objective To observe the effects of Suprasorb G and Suprasorb H on peripheral phlebitis above stage Ⅱ. Methods 64 patients with peripheral phlebitis above Stage Ⅱ were randomly divided into the observation group (36 patients) and the control group (28 patients). The observation group used Suprasorb G, and the control group used Suprasorb H. All cases were tested with the change of stage of peripheral phlebitis, the pain score, the red swelling of the skin and the palpable vascular cord. Results After treatment with Suprasorb H or Suprasorb G, there were significant differences in the change of stage of peripheral phlebitis, red swelling of the skin, pain score and the change of palpable vascular cord by self-contrast before and after treatment. Significant differences existed in change of stage of peripheral phlebitis, and red swelling of the skin and the change of palpable vascular cord at 48 and 72 hours, but no change was seen in pain score between 2 groups. Conclusions Suprasorb G and Suprasorb H beth show good effect in treatment of peripheral phlebitis, but Suprasorb G is better than Suprasorb H in improving the stage of peripheral phlebitis, also in reducing the area of red swelling of the skin and the palpable vascular cord with passage of time. But there is no difference in releasing of pain caused by peripheral phlebitis between them. Key words: Suprasorb G; Suprasorb H; Phlebitis; Pain
