Background: To determine the effect of sesame oil in preventing phlebitis that may occur during intravenous therapy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Material and Method: A randomized controlled interventional study will be conducted with patients treated in the coronary intensive care unit of a university hospital. The population of the study will be the patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery and administered parenteral amiodarone infusion. The power analysis was carried out by taking the study by. The sample size was determined as 44 patients. Personal Information Form and Visual Infusion Phlebitis Scale will be used to collect data. Sesame oil will be applied to the patients in the intervention group as 10 drops, 10 cm around the cannula, for 10 minutes. This administration will be repeated every eight hours during the 24-hour amiodarone infusion. No application will be made by the researcher to the patients in the control group. At the end of each 24 hours, patients in both groups will be evaluated by the investigator on the Visual Infusion Phlebitis Scale. Descriptive statistics, chi square, independent t test and Fisher's exact test will be used to evaluate the data.
No application was made to the patients assigned to the control group. Sesame oil was applied by the researcher to the patients assigned to the intervention group. Sesame oil was applied to the 10 cm circumference of the cannula by applying 10 drops and 10 minutes. This application was repeated every eight hours during the 24-hour amiodarone infusion. The area where the intravenous line is located is covered with a standard transparent dressing (Tegaderm) so that it can be observed. Patients in the intervention and control groups were evaluated for phlebitis at the end of every 24 hours (1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day) according to the VIP scale. The highest of the phlebitis stages obtained as a result of the evaluation was accepted as the final evaluation.

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Other: Complementary treatment practice
No treatment was applied to the patients assigned to the control group and only standard care was applied.
Applying sesame oil to the patients assigned to the intervention group by applying 10 drops to the 10 cm circumference of the cannula for 10 minutes
Visual Infusion Phlebitis Scale
The scale monitors the potential risks of the catheter when administering peripheral venous therapy and rates the developmental stages of phlebitis. Scores range from 0-4. A score of zero indicates that there are no signs of phlebitis, and a score of four indicates that the phlebitis is in the last stage.
Time frame: Change from 1st day to 2nd day, and 3rd day after the implementation
