Effects of post venipuncture wearing TR band on bleeding tendency for patients receiving heparin

Abstract

The purpose of this experimental research was to explore relation between hemostatic technique 3 types and bleeding tendency post venipuncture in the patients receiving heparin. The hemostatic mechanism was used as the conceptual framework of this study. The sample size was 102 particularly at Faculty of Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University, during November 2015 – September 2018. Simple random sampling was used to select 102 particularly who were divided to a control group who received hemostatic technique type 1 (standard technique) (n= 33), an experimental group 1 who received hemostatic technique type 2 (wearing TR band 13 ml 10 minutes long) (n= 32) and an experimental group 2 who received hemostatic technique type 3 (wearing TR band 13 ml 20 minutes long) (n= 37). The instruments used for data collection were bleeding tendency at skin record form. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Fisher’s exact test. The results revealed that hemostatic technique 3 types and bleeding tendency post venipuncture in the patients receiving heparin no statistical relation (p>0.05). Standard technique revealed bleeding tendency 5 particularly (15.20 %), wearing TR band 10 minutes long revealed bleeding tendency 3 particularly (9.40 %), and wearing TR band 20 minutes long revealed bleeding tendency 3 particularly (8.10 %). Finally, the results were used as the techniques for hemostatic technique in case of venipuncture in the patients receiving heparin.
