The Effect of Different Pressure Periods on Bruising and Pain After Subcutaneous Heparin Injection Applied to the Upper Arm Region
The injection site on the upper arm of each patient was cleaned with alcohol and after the alcohol was dried, 0.6 ml of subcutaneous heparin was injected into the tissue at a 90° angle with a 27 gauge needle. The heparin was injected in approximately 10 seconds without aspirating the syringe. After the injection, pressure was applied to the area with dry cotton for specified periods (10 second, 35 second and 60 second).
