| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A hot compress is often performed to promote venous dilatation before venipuncture. However, the optimal method of hot compress is unclear and no suitable device is available. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the warming device to facilitate vasodilation for venipuncture.
First, we surveyed actual clinical practice and needs for the warming device for venipuncture. The results showed that a simple, prompt and safe device is needed. Next, we examined the relation between warming temperature and blood flow of the cutaneous vein in the forearm, as the warming temperature is most important for good vasodilation. Finally, we made two kinds of warming devices. However, these products need to be improved in the future.
