Objective:To compare the effects of the two different types intravenous needles in the intravenous infusion of the old inpatients.Methods:Both of the Type 7 and 5.5 intravenous needles were used in 136 old patients in hospital who received intravenous infusion therapy in two days.Compare the success rate of intravenous injection and pain while using the two types of intravenous needles in the old inpatients.Results:The success rate of intravenous injection while using Type 5.5 intravenous needles was higher than that of Type 7 intravenous needles (p0.05).The pain of intravenous injection while using Type 5.5 intravenous needles was less than that of Type 7 intravenous needles (p0.05).Conclusion:The application of Type 5.5 intravenous needles to the intravenous infusion of the old inpatients would help improve nursing quality and reduce the issue about the intravenous infusion between nurses and patients.
