Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cryotherapy in the early period pain treatment of elderly patients with rib fractures due to blunt thoracic trauma.In this prospective randomized controlled study, geriatric patients were assigned to groups to receive either coolant spray (n=51) or placebo spray (n=50). To the coolant spray group patients,a coolant spray was applied. To the placebo group patients, a normal saline solution in a bottle covered with white opaque paper and refrigerated at 4 °C was sprayed. The visual analog scale (VAS) scores of all patients were recorded before starting spray application (V 0 ), at 10th minute (V 1 ), 20th minute (V 2 ), 30th minute (V 3 ), 60th minute (V 4 ), 120th minute (V 5 ), and 360th minute (V 6 ). The mean decreases in the VAS scores and the mean of the percentage of reduction in the VAS scores were calculated.
