About this study

Official title: The Effect of Duration of Pressure Applied After Blood Sample Collection on the Development of Ecchymosis in Geriatric Patients Using Oral and Subcutaneous Anticoagulants: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different durations of a specific pressure applied after blood collection on the development of ecchymosis in geriatric patients using oral and subcutaneous anticoagulants.

Read the detailed description

The research sample consisted of patients hospitalized in the Geriatrics Clinic of a city hospital. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different durations of a specific pressure applied after blood collection on the development of ecchymosis in geriatric patients using oral and subcutaneous anticoagulants. In this study, whether ecchymosis developed at the 24th, 48th and 72nd hours after the blood collection procedure was evaluated.

Being tested
20 N pressure for 1 minute, 20 N pressure for 3 minute, 20 N pressure for 5 minute

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 20 N pressure for 1 minute, 20 N pressure for 3 minute and 20 N pressure for 5 minute in people with Venipuncture Site Bruise, run by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
