Clinical Effects of Ruyi Golden Powder in Patients with Superficial Venous Indwelling Needle and Phlebitis

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of external application of Ruyi golden powder in patients with superficial venous indwelling needle and phlebitis.Methods From January 2010 to January 2011,60 patients with superficial venous indwelling needle and phlebitis in the hospital were enrolled in the study.They were randomized into observational group and control group,with 30 patients in each group.The patients in the control group were treated with external application of conventional magnesium sulfate and hot water bottle(50℃) was used to keep the temperature which was changed every 4 h in a 7-day treatment.The patients in the observational group were treated with external paste of Ruyi Golden powder and white vinger which was changed every 12 h in a 7-day treatment.The clinical effects were compared between the two groups.Results The total efficiencies were 100% and 70% in the observational and control groups,respectively.The therapeutic effect in the observational group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P0.05).Conclusion External application of Ruyi golden powder has a sound therapeutic effect in the treatment of patients with superficial venous indwelling needle and phlebitis.The treatment is simple and safe,and thus deserves further clinical application and promotion.
