Abstract: ABTRACT Background Eighty percent (80 %) of patients being admitted to hospital receive intravenous therapy.1 Peripheral venous thrombophlebitis (PVT) is the most common complication in patients who receive intravenous therapy. Seventy percent (70 %) to eighty percent (80 %) of thrombotic complications occur in the superficial and deep veins of the upper extremity due to the presence of peripheral intravenous catheters.2 Glycerin magnesium sulphate application and heparinoid (thrombophob) ointment application are found to be used widely for the management of thrombophlebitis. Objective To assess the effectiveness of glycerin with magnesium sulphate as compared to heparin benzyl nicotinate (thrombophob) ointment on management of peripheral intravenous catheter induced thrombophlebitis. Material and method Data collection was done using Modified Jacksons Phlebitis scale. Data obtained was tabulated and analyzed in terms of objectives of the study using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results The study findings revealed that glycerin magnesium sulphate application was found to be more effective than the heparin benzyl-nicotinate ointment (thrombophob) application on management of thrombophlebitis at p- 0.05 level of significance. Conclusion The findings of the study revealed that application of glycerin with magnesium sulphate is more effective than heparin benzyl nicotinate (thrombophob) ointment on management of cannula induced thrombophlebitis.
