Abstract


The use of intravenous therapy is an integral part of patient care in hospitals. In modern medical practice, up to 80% of hospitalized patients receive intravenous therapy at some point during their There are different types of complications that occur frequently in patients with peripheral intravenous therapy. Infusion phlebitis occurs in almost all cases. Studies have shown that 20% to 70% of patients receiving peripheral intravenous therapy develop phlebitis. Infusion phlebitis, defined as the inflammation of a cannulated vein, is a common cause of pain and discomfort in these patients. A study to evaluate effectiveness of cold application and magnesium sulphate application on superficial thrombophlebitis among patients receiving intravenous therapy in selected hospitals Amritsar.
