Efficacy of Sihuang Zijin Powder hydrocolloid in the treatment of infusion phlebitis caused by parenteral nutrition
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Sihuang Zijin Powder hydrocolloid in the treatment of infusion phlebitis(IP)caused by parenteral nutrition.Methods A total of 100 patients with IP caused by parenteral nutrition infusion at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from June to November 2023 were retrospectively selected as the research subjects.Among them,50 patients used Sihuang Zijin Powder hydrocolloid for external application to treat IP as the observation group,50 patients were given hydropathic compress of 50%bitter salt to treat IP as the control group.The IP clinical grading,IP color ultrasound grading,pain score,pain relief time,and red and swelling subsided time between two groups of patients before and 72 h after treatment were compared.Results The IP cure rate through clinical grading and IP cure rate through color ultrasound grading in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group(74.00%vs.44.00%,70.00%vs.36.00%,both P<0.05).At 72 h after treatment,the pain score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group[0(0,1.00)points vs.1.50(0,3.00)points],the pain relief time was shorter than that of the control group[(16.84±1.18)h vs.(23.84±1.50)h],and redness and swelling subsided time was also shorter than that of the control group[(12.50±1.15)h vs.(15.52±1.75)h,all P<0.05].Conclusion The Sihuang Zijin Powder hydrocolloid demonstrates good efficacy in treating IP caused by parenteral nutrition,which can significantly improve the cure rate of IP,and relieve pain with short time to exert effects,suitable for clinical application.
