Objective The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of preventive water colloid dressing on the prevention of phlebitis, in order to provide scientific basis for clinical nursing practice. Methods This study included 80 patients receiving vasoactive drugs in our hospital between January 2023 and October 2024. They were divided into observation and control groups by random number table, with 40 cases in each group. The control group should use usual care measures, while the observation group should use water colloidal dressing on the basis of the control group. The incidence of phlebitis, pain degree, duration of redness and patient satisfaction were observed and recorded in both groups. Results The incidence of phlebitis was lower in the observation group than in the control group (P <0.05). In terms of pain level, the VAS score was lower than that in the control group (P <0.05). In addition, the resolution duration of redness in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group (P <0.05). The satisfaction group was higher than the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion The preventive use of hydrocolloid dressings can significantly reduce the incidence of phlebitis during infusion of vasoactive drugs, reduce the pain degree of patients, shorten the time of redness regression, and improve patient satisfaction, which is worth promoting and application in clinical care.
