Nurses at the Changzhou Children’s Hospital recently launched a special service – providing self-made intravenous infusion fixing-plate with hand-drawn cartoons for children patients.
The hospital’s intravenous infusion rooms, at the hands of most children, are fitted with a cardboard-made infusion fixing-plate with hand-drawn animal cartoons as the children were well behaved in receiving intravenous infusion.
Chu Lanfen, head nurse of the hospital’s intravenous infusion rooms, said an infusion fixing-plate was used to avoid the displacement of the needle fixed on the hand of a child receiving a drug intravenous drip. However, as the market-sold infusion fixing-plates are high in price and are inconvenient in storage, nurses in the intravenous infusion rooms have found a way of using items, such as medicine cardboard boxes, to make free infusion fixing-plates for children patients.
The nurses hope their self-made infusion cartoon fixing-plates will help children patients calmly get through infusions.
