[Treatment applied to post-perfusion phlebitis].
During the physio-pathological process which causes phlebitis, a vesicular constriction and an aggregation of platelets occurs. Therefore, the authors believe that the application of a vesicular dilator such as nitroglycerine would alleviate the symptoms of post-perfusion phlebitis and would be an alternate treatment to the commonly utilized heparinized cream, about whose effectiveness in treating this medical problem virtually no documentation exists.
