About this study
Official title: The Effect of Different Wiping Motions in Phlebotomy on Vein Visibility, Procedural Success and Phlebotomy-related Complications
This study was conducted with 90 patients. The phlebotomy site was wiped with circular motion in the group-I, vertical movement in the group-II, and first vertical and then circular motion in the group-III.
Read the detailed description
Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different wiping motions used in phlebotomy on vein visibility, procedural success, and phlebotomy-related complications.
Background: In phlebotomy practice, many application guidelines or textbooks are used. In these references, it is seen that phlebotomy site is wiped with different motions.
Methods: This study was conducted with 90 patients. The phlebotomy site was wiped with circular motion in the group-I, vertical movement in the group-II, and first vertical and then circular motion in the group-III.
- Conditions
- Nurse's Role
- Being tested
- circular motion, vertical motion, circular+vertical motion
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
circular motionOther
The phlebotomy site was wiped in a circular motion from the center outwards, approximately 5x5 cm wide.
vertical motionOther
The phlebotomy site was wiped vertically from top to bottom with a single maneuver.
circular+vertical motionOther
The phlebotomy site was first vertically wiped from top to bottom with a single maneuver, and then it was wiped in a circular motion from the center to the outside.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| circular motion | Experimental | The phlebotomy site was wiped in a circular motion from the center outwards, approximately 5x5 cm wide. Receives: Other: circular motion |
| vertical motion | Experimental | The phlebotomy site was wiped vertically from top to bottom with a single maneuver. Receives: Other: vertical motion |
| first vertical then circular motion | Experimental | The phlebotomy site was first vertically wiped from top to bottom with a single maneuver, and then it was wiped in a circular motion from the center to the outside. Different swabs were used in both wipes. Receives: Other: circular+vertical motion |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Vein Assessment
This evaluation has a total of 5 assessment steps, (1) veins are neither visible nor palpable, (2) veins are visible but not palpable, (3) veins are barely visible and palpable, (4) veins are visible and palpable, and (5) veins are clearly visible and easily palpable.
Measured: up to 1 minute after wiping the venipuncture site
Change in complications at 72 hours
The results of evaluations such as complication development and size of the complications. It was evaluated three times at the 24th, 48th and 72nd hours.
Measured: 24th, 48th and 72nd hour
