Ice Application for Oxacillin-Related Phlebitis and Pain
Sponsor: Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology
Summary
This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether ice application could reduce pain and peripheral intravenous phlebitis associated with oxacillin administration. Hospitalized patients receiving intravenous oxacillin were assigned to either an ice application group or a control group. In the intervention group, ice was applied to the area around the peripheral intravenous catheter before oxacillin administration. In the control group, a room-temperature water bag was applied in the same manner. Pain after oxacillin administration and signs of phlebitis at the intravenous catheter site were assessed and compared between the two groups. The study aimed to determine whether ice application could provide a simple, non-pharmacological approach to reducing oxacillin-related pain and phlebitis.

Interventions
Ice Application
Ice was applied around the peripheral intravenous catheter site before intravenous oxacillin administration. The intervention was intended to reduce pain associated with oxacillin administration and the occurrence of peripheral intravenous phlebitis.
Room-Temperature Water-Bag Application
A room-temperature water bag was applied around the peripheral intravenous catheter site before intravenous oxacillin administration as the control condition.
