Nursing measures of the prevention of phlebitis due to chemotherapy with infusion 5-fluorouracil

Objective To explore the effect of systemic nursing measures on the prevention of phlebitis due to chemotherapy with infusion 5-fluorouracil.Methods 594 patients were divided into experiment group(502 cases) and control group(92 cases).The patients in the control group underwent routine treatment,and the patients in the experiment group were treated with intravenous injection of 0.2% novocain 10 ml before chemotherapy,wet dressing with fresh leaf of aloe,intravenous catheterization and photophobic infusion set with 3.0 μm precision filter and rapid intravenous dripping with normal saline 100 ml following chemotherapy as well as health instructions.Results There were 39 cases(42.39%) of phlebitis in the control group and 79 cases(14.94%) in the experiment group.The incidence of phlebitis in the experiment group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P0.05).The severity of phlebitis in the experiment group significantly reduced compared with the control group(P0.05).Conclusion Systemic nursing measures such as intravenous injection of 0.2% novocain prior to chemotherapy have significant effect on the prevention of phlebitis due to chemotherapy with infusion 5-fluorouracil.
