An efficacy of cryoanalgesia on arterial blood gas puncture-related pain
Keywords:
Cryoanalgesia, Arterial blood gas, PainAbstract
Context: Arterial blood gas analysis requires puncture of an artery to obtain a blood specimen. Arterial punctures are quite painful among many patients and are the major source of morbidity in clinically ill patients. Aim: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cryoanalgesia among patients undergoing arterial puncture. Settings and Design: The one group pre-test post-test design included 40 samples undergoing arterial puncture in Krishna Hospital and MRC, Karad. Materials and Methods: Purposive sampling technique was used and collected data were analysed using Instat software. Statistical analysis: Statistical analysis was performed using Instat software. Results: The pre-test results depict that out of 40 patients, no patient 0(0%) had mild pain during arterial puncture, 4 (10%) patients had moderate pain and 36(90%) patients had severe pain whereas in the post-test results, out of 40 patients, 1(2.5%) patient had mild pain during arterial puncture, 39 (97.5%) patients had moderate pain and no 0(0%) patients had severe pain. Conclusion: On the whole, conducting this study was a learning experience for the investigator.
