Análise comparativa das reações locais à aplicação intramuscular de Penicilina G Benzatina nas regiões ventroglútea e dorsoglútea

Abstract

This is a randomized clinical trial which had for its object the comparison of local reactions caused by intramuscular administration of Penicillin G Benzathine in people being treated for syphilis Acquired in Dorsoglútea and ventrogluteal regions, being objective to establish this comparison. The literature consulted points to the second region as the safest and the hypothesis was that in this region the local reactions are minor and the discomfort is less. It was a quantitative study with a sample constituted of 21 volunteers who were underwent to two interventions totaling 42 cases, distributed into two groups by the technique of coin to randomization, and the two groups were submitted to two injections at the same time by the same person, one in the dorsoglútea region and another one in the ventrogluteal region. The variables were local reactions of phlogiston type, namely, pain, redness, heat, irradiation and nodulation, which were correlated with age, sex, color declared and previous experiences with the prescribed medication, chosen for its potential reatogênic. The local reactions were measured at the time of application, 24 and 72 hours later. Three instruments were used to collect the data: a form, a ruler adapted by the researcher and an infrared thermometer. The study was submitted to the Ethics Committee by the Brazil platform being adopted by the Opinion number: 17478213.7.0000.5013. The data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics using the Student t tests Tests and Pearson correlation. The descriptive analysis showed that the reactions in the dorsoglútea region are more durable and the pain is bigger. In ventrogluteal region the discomfort is less, reactions are minor and appears irradiation on the podalic sense like “runoff". The inferential analysis showed that variations exist, however, they presents a little significance. It was concluded that local reactions in the ventrogútea region are smaller than the local reactions in the dorsoglútea region, confirming the hypothesis of the research. The data also indicated that people who were experimental submitted came to prefer the ventrogluteal region for the application of intramuscular injections, even accepting one or another region.
