Summary
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Clobetasol ointment with nitroglycerin
ointment on the prevention of superficial phlebitis caused by cannulation. This clinical
trial was conducted on 110 patients admitted to the surgical ward, in three groups of
Clobetasol, nitroglycerin, and control. The data collection tools included demographic
information, information about intravenous treatment and phlebitis measurement scale. In the
intervention groups, after venipuncture, 1.5 cm (about 2 g) of ointment was applied in the
distal part of the Angio catheter and the site was dressed with sterile gauze. In three time
periods of 24, 48 and 72 hours from the time of venipuncture.
