ObjectiveTo explore the effects of self-made pen-type vein puncture needle pressing tool in pressing and stopping blood in cancer patients after removing the intravenous infusion needle.

MethodsNinety-five tumor patients with intravenous infusion were randomly divided into group A(34 cases), group B(31 cases) and group C(30 cases).Group A was treated using conventional compression method(stopping bleeding by pressing the needle eye with a cotton swab after pulling out the needle), group B was treated with infusion paste above the retaining point(stopping bleeding using self-made pen-type vein puncture needle and pressing belt according to device pressure after pulling out the needle), and group C was treated with hand pressing puncture needle site to stop bleeding after pulling out the needle.

ResultsThere was statistical significance in the pain degree among the three groups(P < 0.01), and the differences of the pain degree between group A and B, and between group C and B were statistically significant(P < 0.05).There was statistical significance in pressing time among the three groups(P < 0.01), and the difference of the pressing time between group C and B was statistically significant(P < 0.05).The differences of the incidence rates of ecchymosis and subcutaneous hematoma among the three groups were statistically significant(P < 0.05), which in group B was significantly higher than that in group A(P < 0.05).

ConclusionsThe self-made pen-type vein puncture needle pressing tool in the application of removing the intravenous infusion needle in cancer patients is comfortable, and has little pain, good stopping bleeding effect and short time.
