Summary

The use of intravenous (IV) devices is an integral part of patient care in hospitals, clinics, maternity home etc. approximately 80% of hospitalized patients receive I.V therapies. Phlebitis is a complication that is frequently associated with intravenous therapy. Phlebitis is the inflammation of a vein. It most commonly occurs in superficial veins. It is characterized by local pain, tenderness, swelling, induration, and erythema of the venous tract, and a palpable cord-like vein on the infusion site. The most common causes of phlebitis may be mechanical, chemical, and bacterial. Phlebitis may lead to life-threatening complications such as pain, Cellulitis, gangrene and it leads to amputation of the limb. The possibility of clot formation in the veins can lead to serious complications such as deep vein pulmonary embolism, which can cause sudden death. Other complications include septic shock, thrombophlebitis requiring supportive treatment, metastatic infection, the formation of liver abscesses, and endocarditis due to septic emboli. Patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, coronary heart disease, renal failure, hepatic encephalopathy, neurological conditions, and those who are bedridden for extended periods, as well as newborns, face difficulties in maintaining intravenous (IV) cannulas. As a result, needs to maintain central lines for fluids and medication, which is another source of infection. These complications can lead to prolonged hospital stays, increased medical costs, reduced patient satisfaction, and a lower quality of life for the affected individuals. Here the question arises for nurses to check the effectiveness of magnesium sulphate versus cold compress. To find the answer to this question this study will be conducted with the objective of comparing magnesium sulfate versus cold compression on patients with a peripheral intravenous cannula (PIVC) induced phlebitis, hospital-based comparative study and the simple random sampling technique will be used to collect a sample of sixty participants and will be equally distributed into two groups. The study will be conducted in Lahore general hospital Lahore Punjab Pakistan.
