The effect of inline i.v. filters on postinfusion phlebitis (PIP) and bacterial colonization of i.v. catheters was evaluated. The subjects of the prospective double-blind study were 195 men undergoing elective surgery. Polyethylene i.v. catheters of varying sizes were inserted the morning of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of high-dose glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) infusion on the outcomes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in China.
METHODS
As part of the international multicentre CREATE-ECLA study, 7510 patients with STEMI, aged (62 +/- 12), presenting their symptoms
Using stratified random sampling, 130 patients from three hospital units were assigned to three treatment groups to test the relationship between the frequency of changing intravenous (IV) tubing and percutaneous sites and the incidence of phlebitis. Measures of pain, skin temperature, and erythema
A survey was done to compare the rates at which phlebitis and extravasation cause failure of intravenous infusions lasting more than 24 hours. Slightly more infusions failed due to phlebitis than to extravasation but extravasation did not occur earlier or later than phlebitis or differ significantly
This paper reports on a study conducted to determine the incidence of phlebitis related to peripheral cannulae, and its predisposing factors in a general surgery department. Phlebitis is a serious health problem that affects a large proportion of hospitalized patients receiving intravenous therapy.
Particulate contamination levels of a base intravenous solution and five admixtures were assessed in a double-blind study conducted to determine the effect of inline i.v. filtration on infusion phlebitis. Only a qualitative evaluation on actual patient filters was possible due to deformation of the
OBJECTIVE
to assess nurses' perceptions of risk factors for the development of phlebitis, with a special focus on the perception of phlebitic potentials of some infusion medications and solutions.
METHODS
a cross-sectional questionnaire study, which included a sample of 102 nurses.
RESULTS
Nurses
BACKGROUND
Several trials have been performed in the past using glucose, insulin, and potassium infusion (GIK) for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Because of continuing uncertainty about the potential role of this therapeutic intervention, we conducted a randomized trial to
Clavulanic acid is a potent inhibitor of bacterial beta-lactamases, and ticarcillin is a potent antipseudomonal penicillin. The combination of ticarcillin disodium and clavulanate potassium provides an excellent spectrum of activity against the majority of bacterial pathogens responsible for serious
The tolerance of peripheral veins to intravenous infusions was evaluated. Of 83 infusions studied, 67 contained amino acids. Phlebitis occurred more commonly with the use of solutions that contained the amino acids. The important factors in the production of phlebitis by amino acid solutions were
OBJECTIVE
To assess the safety and tolerance of healthy volunteers to as tragalosides injection (AGI), and to determine a safe dose range for phase II clinical trial.
METHODS
A total of 62 healthy volunteers participated in this study, with 26 being given a single AGI of 100 mL, 200 mL, 300 mL, 400
A total of 82 episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis were analysed in 70 adult patients. Population characteristics can be seen in Table 1. It was possible to determine the causes of 74 episodes (Table 2); infections, insulin reduction or suppression and psychic stress included 89 % of these causes. The
The incidence and severity of peripheral vein phlebitis was evaluated in patients receiving infusions of amino acids alone (1.4 g/kg/day) (group I), amino acids (1.4 g/kg/day) plus 5% dextrose (group II) and 5% dextrose alone (Group III). Ninety-three patients with carcinoma of the bladder were
The effect of inline filtration on the incidence of infusion phlebitis was examined in a community hospital. Two general surgical units, comparable in their patient populations, were studied during a one-month period. On one unit, an extension set with a 45 micrometer filter was attached to every
