Abstract: Objective To compare the cooling effect of ice compressing using the ice-bag packed by immobilization bag with that using the traditional way. Methods Choose 80 hyperpyretic patients who need ice compressing randomly. These ones were averagely and randomly divided into two groups: the observation group and the control group. Put the ice-bag into the self-designed immobilization bag in observation group and into the wrap as the schoolbook described in the control group, and then place it in the needed position for ice compressing. Results The nursing time was 4.50±2.40 minutes in the observation group while it was 15.52±9.54 minutes in the control group. Otherwise, the cooling effect of the observation group was obviously better than that of the control group. Conclusion Ice compressing with the ice-bag packed by immobilization bag was economical with time and effort, and it improved our nursing's efficiency with the cooling aim fulfilled.
