简要总结
Fifty-five patients received three subcutaneous heparin injections (165 injections) by the same investigator using additional techniques such as mechano-analgesia and cold application, and without any additional techniques.
详细描述
The abdomen was divided into four quarters. The first, second, and third SC heparin injections were applied from the right abdominal region using ShotBlocker®, left abdominal region with an ice pack, and lower abdominal region without any additional application, respectively. All the injection sites were circled using a skin marking pen (r = 5 cm).
All the injections were administered following a standard procedure. Pain and satisfaction were assessed immediately after the injection by using the VAS score. Ecchymosis was assessed with an ecchymosis measurement tool at 48 and 60 hours after the injection (Figure 3).

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Intensity Measure via VAS
时间窗: Immediately after injection
The VAS was used to measure pain intensity. The VAS was composed of a 10-cm long line, which had subjective descriptive expressions on both sides (0 cm: no pain and 10 cm: unbearable pain). The individual was asked to make a sign on the line indicating the degree of the pain. The numerical values were recorded by the researcher.
