中医护理在骨科老年创伤患者中对VTE发生率及护理满意度的影响

摘要

目的 为进一步降低骨科老年患者术后静脉血栓栓塞综合征（VTE），分析中医护理的应用价值。方法 以2019.4~2021.4月为纳入时间节点，收集我院此阶段进行骨科手术的老年患者为研究对象，共有70例患者自愿参与。根据手术时间先后顺序患者分组接受常规护理和中医护理，各有35例患者。对比观察不同护理方案应用效果。结果 与常规组相比，中医组患者术后VTE发生率低、住院时间短、患者护理满意度评价高（P＜0.05）。结论 骨科创伤患者术后易发生VTE并发症，特别是老年患者，治疗过程中辅以中医护理进行干预，有助于提升患者康复进程，临床可进一步推广运用。

Abstract

Objective To further reduce postoperative venous thromboembolism syndrome (VTE) in elderly orthopedic patients, and analyze the application value of traditional Chinese medicine nursing.
Methods Taking 2019.4~2021.4 months as the inclusion time node, the elderly patients who underwent orthopedic surgery in our hospital at this stage were collected as the research objects, and a total of 70 patients participated voluntarily. According to the sequence of operation time, the patients were grouped to receive routine nursing and traditional Chinese medicine nursing, with 35 patients in each. Compare and observe the application effect of different nursing programs.
Results Compared with the routine group, the TCM group had a lower incidence of postoperative VTE, shorter hospital stay, and higher evaluation of patients' nursing satisfaction (P<0.05).
Conclusion   Patients with orthopedic trauma are prone to VTE complications after surgery, especially elderly patients. The intervention of traditional Chinese medicine nursing during the treatment process is helpful to improve the recovery process of patients, and it can be further promoted and applied in clinical practice.
