Description
Summary:[...]the care giver(nurses) want to frequently change the intravenous cannula because of it may cause a complication and associated problem related to failure of intravenous cannulation. maintaining of patency of intravenous cannula is very important and needed. [...]the researcher identified the need for conducting research regarding the maintenance of patency of intravenous cannula by using a normal saline. Of studies reporting secondary outcomes (maneuver needed, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, haemorrhage, central venous thrombosis and catheterrelated bloodstream infection),heparinised saline was shown not to be superior to non-heparinised solution. Understanding such mechanism (normal saline lock) that promote or hinder health and survival is central to developing strategies to ensure positive outcomes for patient and medical professional for example a study in Uganda showed strong care takers beliefs that intermitten flushing of normal saline to maintain a patency of intravenous cannula. Table 3 Represents that the study significant association between the demographic variables of age, sex, education, income, number of hospitalization, type of medication and colour of cannula in an experimental group at P0.05.
