The intervention research on treatment by Xianchen to rabbits model of chemotherapeutic phlebitis

Abstract

PURPOSE:To develop a chemotherapeutics induced phlebitis and explore the effects of Xianchen on the phlebitis treatment. METHODS:Forty-eight rabbits were divided into two series. Phlebitis model induced by vincristine was established at each series. The first series had 24 rabbits, which were divided into four groups (6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours) after vincristine infusion. The grades of phlebitis through visual observation and histopathological examination were observed. The second series had also 24 rabbits.Interventions were performed 12 hours after vincristine infusion. These rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, according to treatment: Hirudoid (bid), Xianchen (daily), Xianchen (tid), Xianchen (five times a day). Four days after intervention, the venous injury through visual observation and histopathological examination were evaluated. RESULTS:Series 1: Phlebitis appeared 12 hours after infusion of vincristine through visual observation. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) between 6 hours and 24 hours, 6 hours and 18 hours through visual observation. However, the inflammation happened 6 hours after infusion, the loss of venous endothelial cells demonstrated differences among four groups through histopathological evaluation (p<0.05). There were significant differences (p<0.05) after 4 days among the intervention groups through visual observation, the effects of Xianchen group (five times a day) were better than Xianchen group (tid) (p<0.01). The treatment of edema demonstrated differences among groups through histopathological evaluation (p<0.05), Xianchen (five times a day) better relieved the degree of edema (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The study showed that inflammatory reaction of phlebitis appeared early. Xianchen can treat vincristine induced phlebitis, as well as Hirudoid. It is particularly effective in the treatment of edema, and there is a remarkable dose-response relationship.

Time to Occurrence of Phlebitis After Continuous Infusion of Total Nutrient Admixture Through Peripheral Veins: An Experimental Animal Study

“…The 2016 INS (Infusion Nursing Standard) 4,5 stipulates that under the conditions of compatibility and stability of liquid, other emulsions may be used to prepare a parenteral nutrition solution and a central venous access device (CVAD) should be used as the puncture tool. However, if the medical environmental requirements for a CVAD puncture cannot be met and the nutritional treatment of the patient will be delayed, a short PVC infusion can be used.…”

Effect of Chahuang ointment on prevention of phlebitis from peripherally inserted central catheter: randomized clinical trial

“…Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays an important role in health care and has been shown to have positive effects on external therapy (16) . Since 2010, the intravenous infusion groups in Shanghai Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine have used Chahuang ointment, a traditional Chinese compound medicine, to treat mechanical phlebitis after PICC insertion.…”
