The press methods for preventing bleeding in children after extraction of venipuncture needles

Abstract

Objective To explore the press methods after extraction of intravenous needles in children to reduce the incidences of bleeding and subcutaneous ecchymosis. Methods 600 children aged 0- 5 receiving venipuncture needle extraction after infections from the pediatric injection room were divided into two groups. The study group of 300 children received traditional method with dry cotton sticks for local press. The control group of another 300 receive removal of venous puncture pin after infusion for reservation of 3L paste, parents with thenar puncture point in the press from the fixed effects from the other four fingers around the supporting role, to hold the puncture points in hands or feet of the children for large-area press for 4 min. Results The incidences of bleeding and skin ecchymosis were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (P＜0.01), the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions Infants in the venipuncture needle injection 3L reservations only after the infusion paste, parents with thenar puncture point at the press played the role of the fixed and the remaining four fingers around the supporting means, as parents, only to hand the children the whole puncture site for large-scale press, whether hands or feet, firstclass parts of the pin was removed. The incidences of bleeding and subcutaneous bleeding can be reduced. Key words: Infant; Vein puncture; Needle extraction; Press Bleeding Subcutaneous bleeding
