Abstract
Background: Phlebitis is one of the most common complications of peripheral intravenous cannula. Magnesium sulfate with glycerin and ice are simple, inexpensive and effective intervention for management of phlebitis. Aim of the study: Evaluate the effectiveness of magnesium sulfate with glycerin versus ice chips on patients with peripheral intravenous cannula induced phlebitis. Method: A quasi-experimental research design was used in this study. Purposive sample of (100) patients with phlebitis from medical departments in Main Mansoura University Hospital and Medical Specialized Hospital were divided into two equal groups: magnesium sulphate group (n=50) ice chips group (n=50). Results: Both magnesium sulfate with glycerin (2=93.601, p<0.001) and ice chips (2=85.350, p<0.001) were found to be effective in reducing the peripheral intravenous cannula induced phlebitis. Conclusion: Both magnesium sulfate with glycerin and ice chips were effective in decrease phlebitis but magnesium sulfate with glycerin was more effective than ice chips. Recommendations: Raising patients’ awareness about benefits of ice and magnesium sulphate with glycerin in management of phlebitis and how to use ice and magnesium sulphate.
