Effect of moxibustion sticking on arm acupoints to reduce the pain of intravenous infusion and the prevention effect of phlebitis
Objective To investigate the effect of moxibustion sticking on arm acupoints to reduce the pain of intravenous infusion and the prevention effect of phlebitis.Methods A total of 450 patients with infusion of hypertonic high-concentration liquid>500 mL from November 2020 to October 2021 were selected as the research objects.According to different intervention methods,the patients were divided into group A,group B and group C,with 150 cases in each group.The group A was given routine infusion nursing,the group B was given hand Sanli point massage nursing,and the group C was given moxibustion sticking on arm acupoints nursing.The intervention effects of the three groups were compared.Results At 1 h of intervention and at the end of infusion,the Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)score of the group C was lower than that of the group A and the group B(P<0.05).After intervention,the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)and interleukin-6(IL-6)in the group C were lower than those in the group A and the group B(P<0.05).After intervention,the psychological and physiological scores of the group C were higher than those of the group A and the group B(P<0.05).The total incidence of phlebitis in the group C was lower than that in the group A and the group B(P<0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion sticking on arm acupoints can reduce the pain of the patients'intravenous infusion,reduce the levels of inflammatory factors,and effectively prevent phlebitis.
