Abstract :
A comparative study to assess the
effectiveness of Sumag dressing versus glycerin dressing
on patients with thrombophlebitis. Objectives for the
study were effectiveness of Glycerin dressing and Sumag
dressing on thrombophlebitis patients.
Simple random sampling technique was adopted to
select 60 patients with thrombophlebitis. Visual Infusion
phlebitis scale and demographic checklist was used for
data collection. Experimental approach and comparative
experimental design as adopted for this study. The major
findings of the study were, in this study the baseline
Mean ± SD score of thrombophlebitis level pretest in 1st
group (Sumag group) was 3.166 ±0.698 and after Sumag
dressing, the post-test mean ± SD was 0.4 ±.498. The t
value for pre-test post-test is 30.066 in Sumag group. The
p value in Sumag group is <0.01. This shows that there
was gradual reduction in phlebitis mean score and SD
score after intervention and the t score is significant.
Hence the topical application of Sumag is effective on IV
induced thrombophlebitis.
