“…In contrast, students training on each other's arms were concerned about time‐related issues and ‘patient’ reactions while learning each step. For instance, the tourniquet had to be released as soon as possible, as prolonged use could lead to complications such as haemoconcentration due to venous pressure (Buowari ). Cannula insertion is often painful and uncomfortable for both patients (Jacobson & Winslow ) and students.…”

“…Hematoma formation is another complication where the blood drawn can cause blood leakage into the tissues leading to swelling signs presented by the patient. One of the most common cause of low blood collection is the patient having fear during the process causing less blood flow around the region leading to lowered blood being collected (Buowari, 2013).…”

Background -Chronic kidney disease with unknown aetiology (CKDu) is a progressing disease which is affecting many Sri Lankans' yearly, this disease is slow progressive, irreversible and asymptomatic disease. Patients suffering from CKDu over the past two decades have been evaluated using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR). This is the standard test performed under WHO guidelines to investigate and grade the CKDu, and this creatinine clearance is measured in this in order to grade the patient. Backache has been a common symptom presented in most of the chronic kidney disease patients (CKD), patients with CKDu are liable to get backache due to the renal failure that takes place (Jayathilake et al., 2013;Redmon et al., 2016). Objective -To detect a correlation between serum creatinine values and level of backachepresented in the patient.Method -Using an interview based questionnaire to assess patients' body condition and the degree of backache is assessed, 59 patients were part of the study for a period of five months and had an average age of 60.3 years. The questionnaire answers are scaled into four main types of backache from the least to the most painful based on the pain scale adapted from Kapkia. Serum creatinine is measured using an automated analyzer which is measured using Jaffe's reaction. Using Pearson R correlation, the relationship was determined between serum creatinine and backache (Kafkia et al., 2011). Results -The results were obtained for 58 patients (n=58), where the mean backache score was 2.30 and mean serum creatinine value 2.77. The Pearson R value obtained was 0.01 which is indicating almost no relationship between backache and serum creatinine. Patients with stage 3 kidney disease (n=14) had an average E-GFR of 38.0, stage 4 (n=38) with 22.3 and stage 5 (n=6) with 14.0.Conclusion -Backache can be used an indicator of CKDu since it is presented in most patients' suffering from the disease but unable to be used to determine the stage of CKDu suffered by the patient due to the external causes that leads to backache. Several predisposing factors such as temperature, water source and agricultural activity can influence the backache.

“…Hematoma usually developed due to improper technique in performing venipuncture. Reddish discoloration in and around the injection site signifies hematoma formation [5]. Visual assessment was used to identify this type of complication.…”

“…Infiltration occurs when nonvesicant fluids or medication infiltrate into the subcutaneous tissue causing edema, skin blanching and coldness, and pain [4]. Hematoma formation occurs due to collection of blood from ruptured vessels which led to swelling at the affected area and cause pain [5].…”

Background: Peripheral intravenous catheterization is a common invasive nursing procedure performed in healthcare institutions. It is a technique which involves insertion of a needle into the peripheral veins for various reasons. As one of the commonest nursing procedures being performed, it also brought significant risks to patients resulting to prolong hospital stay and delay in recovery period if not properly executed.
