Ice Pack and Lukewarm Gel Pad Use on Pain, Anxiety Level and Physiological Parameters

The temperature of the area where the ice pack is applied will be measured at one minute intervals, and when the relevant area reaches a temperature of 13.6 0C, the physician will be informed and the drain removal procedure will be initiated.

Gel pads kept at room temperature will be applied to the drain area of the pediatric patient whose surgical drain indication is decided to end, in a sheath designed to wrap around the drain. After waiting for 10 minutes in the application area, the drainage system will be removed by the physician.
