  29. METHODS OF APPLICATION Apply to affected area 15 to 20 at a time several times a day Prolonged ice application beyond 1 to 2 days has been shown to impair healing

  30. INDICATIONS

  31. CONTRAINDICATIONS • Severe reactions to cold are rare and are related to hypersensitivity reactions. • Cold is contraindicated forpatientswho have developed hypertension during cold treatment or have a cold allergy (hives, joint pain) or cryoglobulinemia. • Cold should not be applied to areas of reduced skin sensitivity, or in patients who have Raynaud’ssyndrome or sickle cell anemia. • Cold can further impair local blood flow in people who have peripheral vascular disease.

  32. PRECAUTIONS Prolonged exposure will lead to freezing of tissue A number of cases of peripheral nerve injury from cryotherapy have been reported. Injury sites have included the peroneal, lateral femoral cutaneous, and supraclavicular nerves

  33. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE • Decreases swelling • Decreases muscle spasm • Decreases pain • Decreases vasoconstriction

  34. PROPER USE OF AGENT • When applying ice, never do so directly onto the skin • 15-20min intervals several times a day • During the first 24 to 72 hours after an injury be sure to avoid any form of heat at the injury site, avoid movement and do not massage the injured area as these will increase the bleeding, swelling and pain.
