Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of different infusion speeds on prevention phlebitis caused by lavofloxacin hydrochloride. Methods One hundred and sixty patients treated with intravenous infusion of lavofloxacin hydrochloride were randomized by simple digital table into one observation group and three control groups with 40 in each group. The infusion velocities in the observation group and other three control groups were 61~70 gtt/min, 30~40 gtt/min, 41~50 gtt/min and 51 to 60 gtt/min, respectively. The incurrence rate of phlebitis was compared among the four groups. Results The incidence rate of phlebitis in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the respective control group (all P<0.05). There were no differences among the three control groups in terms of phlebitis rate. Conclusion Intravenous infusion of lavofloxacin hydrochloride at the infusion velocity of 61~70 gtt/min can reduce the incidence of phlebitis.
