reduces muscle spasms , inflammation and edema

A

cryotherapy

43
Q

Nursing management of cryotherapy

A

-produces hypothermia
- induces vasoconstriction and reduction of pain sensation
- reduces muscle spasms, inflammation and edema
- should not exceed 20 to 30 minutes per application
- ice should not be applied directly to the skin

44
Q

elastic compression bandage

A

compression
