Fundamento

Hasta la actualidad los tratamientos propuestos para la tromboflebitis superficialinducida por infusion intravenosa (TFSI) son de dudosa eficacia y en su mayoria empiricos opoco documentados. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la efectividad y la seguridad de laadministracion topica de diclofenaco en el tratamiento de la TFSI.

Pacientes Y Metodos

En este trabajo prospectivo se incorporaron 120 pacientes de ambos sexos quedesarrollaron TFSI durante la hospitalizacion. Fueron asignados al azar a uno de los siguientes grupos:G-control (n = 40), sin tratamiento; G-topico (n = 40), diclofenaco emulgel, administrado enforma topica sobre la zona afectada cada 8 h durante 48 h, y G-oral (n = 40), diclofenaco 75 mgv.o. cada 12 h durante 48 h. Las mediciones se efectuaron en el momento del diagnostico de laTFSI (T0) y a las 48 h (T2). Se realizaron registros de la intensidad de la TFSI cuantificando rubor,tumor, calor y dolor. Dichos datos fueron comparados considerando los promedios de las diferenciasregistradas entre T2 y T0. Se considero como respuesta positiva al tratamiento una disminucionde la intensidad de la TFSI igual o superior al 30%. Las variables cuantitativas fueron estudiadascon ANOVA, test de Kruskal-Wallis o modelo lineal general y las cualitativas con el test de la χ2, empleando el modelo de correccion de Yates. El nivel de significacion utilizado fue α = 0,05.RESULTADOS: Los promedios de las diferencias en la intensidad de la TFSI registradas entre T2 y T0en los grupos G-control, G-topico y G-oral fueron: –.0,12 (4,89), –.5,70 (3,13), –.4,82 (3,14) (p = 0,000). Las respuestas favorables en G-control, G-topico y G-oral fueron: 20, 60 y 60%, respectivamente(p = 0,0001). El numero de pacientes con efectos adversos en los grupos G-topico yG-oral fue: cefalea 9–5 (p = 0,2); epigastralgia 4–17 (p = 0,0009); nauseas 6–16 (p = 0,01), y pruritolocal 5–2 (p = 0,2). No se registraron reacciones adversas graves en ninguno de los grupos.

Conclusiones

La aplicacion topica de diclofenaco puede plantearse como una alternativa terapeuticasimple, efectiva y segura para los enfermos que desarrollan TFSI.

Background

Until present time, suggested treatments for superficial thrombophlebitis inducedby intravenous infusion (TFSI), are of uncertain effectiveness and most of them or empiricaland not fully researched. The aim of this report is to study the effectiveness and safety of thetopical and oral administration of diclofenac in the treatment of TFSI.

Patients and Methods

In this prospective study 120 patients both female and male were included.All of them developed TFSI during hospitalization and at the same time they were assignedat random to one of the following groups: G-control (n = 40), without treatment; G-topical (n =40), diclofenac emulsion gel used in a topical way on the concerned area every 8 hours during48 hours; G-oral (n = 40), diclofenac 75 mg p.o. every 12 hours during 48 hours. The measurementswere done at the moment of diagnosis of TFSI (T0) and 48 hours later (T2). Registries ofintensity of TFSI were done by quantifying flushing, tumor, heatness and pain. These data werecompared considering the averages of differences registered in T2 with respect to T0. A decreaseof intensity of TFSI . 30% was considered a positive answer to this treatment. The quantitativevariables were studied with ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test or general linear model and the qualitativewith the χ2 test with Yates correction. The level of significance used was α = 0.05.

Results

The averages of differences in the intensity of TFSI that were registered in the groupsG-control, G-topical and G-oral in T2 compared to T0 are: –.0.12 (4.89), –.5.70 (3.13), –.4.82(3.14) (p = 0.000). The favorable answers in G-control, G-topical and G-oral were: 20, 60 and60%, respectively (p = 0.0001). The adverse reactions in G-topical and G-oral were: headache9–5 (p = 0.2), epigastric pain 4–17 (p = 0.0009), nausea 6–16 (p = 0.01) and local pruritus 5–2 (p = 0.2). The treatment did not report serious adverse reactions in either of the groups.

Conclusion

The topical treatment of diclofenac can be recommended as an alternative simple,effective and safe therapy for patients who develop TFSI.
