Protocol summary

Study aim
Determine the effect of the cold pack on bruising and pain caused by subcutaneous injection of Enoxaparin in the elderly
Design
Each patient in the interventional group constituted his or her own control group. In this study, simple randomization was used. In the case of patients whose last digit of their ID number are odd, the left side of the abdomen are the interventional group and the right side of the abdomen are control group, and if they are paired, their right side of abdomen will be the interventional group and the left side of the of the abdomen are control group.
Settings and conduct
Elderly patients with a MMSE ≥25 and receiving enoxaparin, are block randomization assigned to the right and left abdomen to the control and intervention groups. In the intervention group, for 2 minutes, the cold pack was placed before and after injection in the area, and the severity of the pain during the injection is measured by the visual analogue scale and in the case of bruising, the injection area is 24, 48 and 72 hours after injection with a ruler Millimeters are measured. In the control group, all procedures, except cold pack, will be performed in the same way as the intervention group.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Receiving Enoxaparin; Awareness Based on a MMSE; Being hospitalized at least 3 days; Having informed consent; Lack of injecting medication or other anticoagulants in the abdomen; Not having cold skin allergy; Normal PT, PTT, INR and platelets
Intervention groups
In the abdominal intervention area, the cold pack is placed for 2 minutes before and after the injection
Main outcome variables
The pain score during enoxaparin injection according Visual Analogue Scale, and so bruising size in 24, 48 and 72 hours after enoxaparin injection
