Active clinical trials for "Phlebitis"

Nurses frequently use peripheral venous catheters in hospitals to provide medications and fluids for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Peripheral venous catheter use brought various problems, including phlebitis, infiltration, extravasation, ecchymosis, thrombophlebitis, and embolism, in addition to being a regularly utilized nursing practice. The literature used techniques like heat application, fist clenching, and proximal massage to lower the risk of thrombophlebitis and associated problems.

The purpose of this study is to determine different risk factors of thromboembolic disease. Different points will be studied do different types of thromboembolic disease (distal Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), proximal DVT, Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and DVT, PE without DVT) have the same clinical significance (risk factors and prognosis) ? Is it necessary to obtain a detailed history of thromboembolic disease ? Do older patients have particular risk factors ? Do preventive treatments modify the level of risk factors and the clinical signs of thromboembolic disease ? Do predictive clinical scores have the same performance for both in and outpatients ? Can patients with a potential high level of thromboembolic risk (surgery, pregnancy) but no clinical thromboembolic symptoms, develop a low risk ? The evolution of the disease in patients with negative or positive Venous ThromboEmbolism (VTE) exploratory tests.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Clobetasol ointment with nitroglycerin ointment on the prevention of superficial phlebitis caused by cannulation. This clinical trial was conducted on 110 patients admitted to the surgical ward, in three groups of Clobetasol, nitroglycerin, and control. The data collection tools included demographic information, information about intravenous treatment and phlebitis measurement scale. In the intervention groups, after venipuncture, 1.5 cm (about 2 g) of ointment was applied in the distal part of the Angio catheter and the site was dressed with sterile gauze. In three time periods of 24, 48 and 72 hours from the time of venipuncture.

This study is to demonstrate that the control ultralong intravenous catheter without the guide wire is equivalent to the experimental catheter with the guide wire. The hypothesis of this study is that the 6.35 cm 20G ultralong Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Intravenous (USPIV) will have no difference in survival compared to the 5.71 cm ultralong with wire USPIV.

This is an interventional multi-centre study comparing two groups of general practitioners with or without an ultrasound scanner over a period of 6 months. The evaluation focuses on the management of patients for 8 pathologies: Pneumonia Pleural effusion Renal colic Hepatic colic or cholecystitis Subcutaneous abscess or cyst Fracture of long bones Intra-uterine pregnancy or extra-uterine pregnancy or miscarriage Phlebitis The principal hypothesis is that there are fewer complementary exams in the group of doctors using ultrasound scanners. The secondary hypotheses are: There is better patient orientation (emergency care, specialist consultation, return home) in the group of doctors using the ultrasound scanners. The global cost of the care is lower in the group of doctors using the ultrasound. Using ultrasound during the consultation decreases the anxiety of the patient. Using ultrasound increases the duration of the consultation. There is no difference between the predicted and the real orientation of the patients.

Intermittent or continuous proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy are recommended for high-risk bleeding ulcers according to the French Society of Gastroenterology. The prevalence of incidence of vein infusion phlebitis after PPI intravenous infusion is high in geriatric acute ward (about 10% of severe vein infusion phlebitis). The primary of objective of the study is to determinate the prevalence of vein infusion phlebitis after PPI intravenous infusion in aging people. The secondary of objective of the study if to determinate the factors of risk of vein infusion phlebitis.
