Overview

Brief Summary

This study aims to explore the effect of using simple psychological interventions and cryoanalgesia for reducing arterial punctures pain and anxiety in critically ill patients

Detailed Description

The present study will be carried out in two interventions Patients who received cryoanalgesia: patients subjects underwent arterial puncture. patients in the intervention group had a small plastic bag filled with 12 oz of crushed ice applied to the radial artery puncture site for 3 min (timed with a stopwatch) without external compression or massage. Psychological interventions using verbal signals of the impending procedure, music distraction, visual distraction, and breathing interventions be used during arterial puncture in adults

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Severity of pain using numerical pain scale

Time Frame: Three observations after the end arterial puncture procedure

The patient is asked to rate their pain on a 0-10 scale, where: 0 = No pain 1-3 = Mild pain (nagging, annoying, but doesn't interfere much with daily activities) 4-6 = Moderate pain (noticeable, bothersome, may interfere with concentration or some activities) 7-10 = Severe pain (very intense, disabling, interferes with most activities or rest)

Level of anxiety using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale

Time Frame: Two observations before and after arterial puncture procedure

Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale consisted of 14 items measuring psychic anxiety (mental agitation) and somatic anxiety (physical complaints) Each item scored from 0 (not present) to 4 (severe) Total score ranges from 0-56, with higher scores indicating more severe
