“…The heparinoids were only administered as ointments (Amuda et al, 2019; Sharma, 2016; Yambem et al, 2015) by massage each 8–12 h for 2–3 days, and a bandage (Thomas et al, 2016).…”

“…The potential of phytotherapeutic treatments was explored in 11 of the studies included in this review in relation to the application of phellodendron, quercetin, ichthammol glycerine, calendula, chamomile, sesame and aloe vera. A total of 8 studies reported an improvement in the phlebitis: calendula vs. application of warmth (Jourabloo et al, 2017), quercetin vs. eucerin (Ghorbani et al, 2016), phellodendron vs. magnesium sulphate (Wan, 2018) and ichthammol glycerine vs. heparinoids or magnesium sulphate‐glycerine (Basu et al, 2017; Thomas et al, 2016). In the study by Soloman et al (2015), ichthammol glycerine and heparinoids were found to be equally effective.…”

“…Of the 11 selected studies, 8 report regression of the phlebitis. The tested products were calendula (Jourabloo et al, 2017), quercetin (Ghorbani et al, 2016), phellodendron (Wan, 2018), ichthammol glycerine (Basu et al, 2017; Thomas et al, 2016), sesame (Bigdeli Shamloo et al, 2019; Damanik, 2017) and chamomile (Lila, 2017). The results reported on the benefits of phytotherapeutic products concur with those of other studies and systematic reviews (Dos Reis et al, 2009; Gao et al, 2016; Goulart et al, 2020; Martín Gil et al, 2017).…”

“…On the one hand, the use of a bandage does not impede evaporation of the product nor does it improve its effectiveness (Lian et al, 2017), while on the other occlusion of the area increases the absorption of the product (Sellarès Casas, 2013) and keeps the skin moist. In this review, use of a bandage (sterile or gauze dressing) together with the product was found to be effective in a total of 9 studies (Amuda et al, 2019; Bigdeli Shamloo et al, 2019; Ghorbani et al, 2016; Jayabharathi, 2015; Packialakshmi & Vidhya, 2017; Ravindra & Patel Krupa, 2015; Sharma, 2016; Thomas et al, 2016; Wan, 2018).…”

Objective To identify and analyse topical treatments for peripheral venous catheter (PVC)‐related phlebitis. Design The methodological framework used to make this scoping review was developed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005; (International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 8, 2005 and 19)). Data sources A literature search was performed in various databases such as PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane, Cuiden, Web of Science, WorldWideScience and Joanna Briggs. Additionally, articles from informal sources were incorporated. Review methods A search and selection were made of experimental, quasi‐experimental and pre‐experimental studies published between January 2015 and September 2020 that consider the use of topical products for the treatment of hospital in‐patients with PVC‐related phlebitis. Appraisal of the methodological quality of the study was performed independently by pairs of reviewers on the basis of the Cochrane Collaboration tool. The review was based on the guidelines in the PRISMA‐ScR statement. Results Twenty‐two articles were selected (8 randomised controlled trials (RCTs), 12 quasi‐RCTs and 2 pre‐experimental studies) which considered treatments applied to a total of 2042 adult patients. The topical treatments described were classified into physical measures and phytotherapeutic and pharmacological treatments. The physical measures are easy to apply, but their effectiveness is limited. The main limitation of the phytotherapeutic treatments is their marketing and use in eastern culture. The best performing pharmacological treatment is the application of magnesium sulphate either with or without glycerine. These products can be presented in different pharmaceutical formulas: ointment, solution and oil. Conclusions and relevance to clinical practice The evidence currently available on this issue is limited and often of dubious methodological rigour. Further studies are required on the treatment and follow‐up of intravenous therapy‐related phlebitis in different national and international contexts.

“…8 Heparin prevents thrombin formation, promotes fibrinolysis and absorption of superficial micro-thrombi while benzyl nicotinate boosts local absorption of heparin by vasodilation. 9 A study in India concluded that, magnesium sulphate paste application is very effective than magnesium sulphate crystal fomentation in reducing phlebitis and other infusion related complications in children. 10 Another study in similar setting stated that glycerin magnesium sulphate application and alovera gel are effective in reducing phlebitis in children.…”

Introduction: Phlebitis is the most common complication of intravenous infusion therapy. Incidence of phlebitis in children receiving intravenous therapy has been reported to be as high as 71.25%. The study was done to find out the effectiveness of glycerin magnesium sulphate versus heparin benzyl nicotinate application in children with phlebitis. Methods: A pre-post control group design was used. A total of 43 subjects were randomly assigned into two groups [22 in experimental (glycerin magnesium sulphate application) and 21 in control (heparin benzyl nicotinate application) group] by lottery method. Data was collected using Modified Visual Infusion Phlebitis (VIP) Score. Results: The comparison between VIP score was based on observations made before the interventions and at 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours after the intervention. Independent t tests showed significant difference in reduction of VIP score in experimental and control group after 12 hours and 24 hours of intervention. The study demonstrated that there is no statistically significant difference in reduction of VIP score among the subjects in experimental and control group at 12 hours (p = 0.219), 24 hours (p = 0.349), 36 hours (p = 0.695) and 48 hours (p = 0.424) after the intervention. Conclusion: The study concludes that both glycerin magnesium sulphate and heparin benzyl nicotinate can be used effectively among children with phlebitis. However, after 24 hours of phlebitis, an alternative intervention needs to be used.
