The Effect of Cold Spray Applied Before Local Anaesthesia

Coronary angiography is a reliable and valid method used in the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Coronary angiography is defined as the process of obtaining cineangiographic images by administering radio-opaque material to the coronary vessels via arterial route. Coronary angiography is frequently performed from brachial, radial and femoral arteries. The aim of coronary angiography is to determine the presence, localisation and extent of cardiovascular lesions.

Invasive interventions cause anxiety and pain in the patient, increase the level of anxiety and cause a number of negative effects such as increased use of sedative drugs, development of post-procedure complications, prolongation of the recovery process and hospitalisation time. It is stated that there is a positive relationship between reducing the anxiety of the patients and meeting the needs of the patients.

Treatment and study plan

Cold Spray

Other

Cold Spray: Cold sprays, composed of liquefied gases under high pressure, rapidly evaporate from the applied area, causing a sudden drop in skin temperature. This condition leads to the temporary desensitization of pain receptors or the activation of ion channels, resulting in the brief alleviation of pain sensation. Various medical, non-medical, and surgical methods are employed to manage pain. Cold sprays are among non-medical methods, including massage, cold application, and distraction techniques. Therefore, cold sprays cannot be prescribed like medication. They are used for local anesthesia in cases of acute trauma, injections, blood collection, vein puncture, and similar situations.

Primary outcomes

Pain levels recorded with the Visual Analog Scale

Time frame: 1 minute

VAS was used to evaluate the pain of the patients. The scale consists of emotion adjectives in which each emotion experienced by the person at that moment is marked with a vertical line on a plane. A value of zero is considered as not experiencing pain at all, and a value of ten is considered as experiencing pain completely.
