Protocol summary

Study aim
determine the effect of topical cold and heat on bruises induced by subcutaneous injection of enoxaparin sodium in patients admitted to the orthopedic ward of Poursina Hospital in Rasht.
Design
This study is a single randomized controlled clinical trial by parallel group.The samples size is 74. At first, the samples are selected by convenience sampling method. Then, allocated in the intervention group 1 and intervention group 2 .
Settings and conduct
the study is conducted in patients admitted to the orthopedic ward of Poursina Hospital in Rasht.In intervention group 1 (local cold) after administration of enoxaparin sodium, a cold pack is applied at a place of injection for 20 minutes. In the intervention group 2 (local cold-heat), in addition to the cold pack for 20 minutes, 24 hours later, the warm pack for 20 minutes is applied.The bruising extent is measured by a researcher fellow with ruler for up to 3 days at 24, 48, 72 hours after injection in both groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The inclusion criteria:attendance in the first 24 h of admission ; requiring hospital admission for at least 72 h after receiving the second injection in the left abdomen; enoxaparin sodium ordering (6000 u ) normal coagulation,renal function,Hct & Plt tests ; No lesions on the abdomen. exclusion criteria :any change in the clinical condition is required changing in the amount or discontinuation of the drug, injection in right side by personel & unwillingness to continue cooperation.
Intervention groups
In intervention group 1 (local cold) after administration of enoxaparin sodium, a cold pack is applied at a place of injection for 20 minutes . In the intervention group 2 (local cold-heat), in addition to the cold pack for 20 minutes, 24 hours later, the warm pack for 20 minutes is applied.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group1: Samples(n=37) will receive per-filled syringe of enoxaparin sodium 6000 IU (prepared by Alborzdarou company), subcutaneously after administration on the right of the abdomen,applying a cold pack at a place of injection for 20 minutes with a temperature of 15 to 18 ° C. . The injection area will be identifying circled about 2/5 cm diameter by a waterproof pen, and then providing the education to patient about non-manipulation, including the lack of massage, scratching or touching the injection site. I n general, the investigator inject in two times in each groups. The first injection on the right side of the abdomen is considered as an intervention and the second injection, which is performed 24 hours after the first injection on the left side of the abdomen, is considered as a control. There will be no intervention on the left side of the abdomen ( as control). Data on bruising is gathering through observing injection site for bruising and measuring its breadth by using a transparent millimeter ruler by a fellow trained researcher who does not know any information about injection methods. The bruising extent is recorded in up to 3 days at 24, 48, 72 hours after injection (right and left side of the abdomen) in each groups and recorded in the data sheet.
