Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of preventive nursing intervention in elderly patients against the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower extremities postoperatively. Methods Forty-seven elderly patients treated with general nursing methods in our hospital from March 2013 to March 2015 were selected as control group, and 47 elderly patients treated with preventive nursing intervention from March 2015 to March 2017 were selected as experimental group. The incidence of DVT in lower extremity was compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of DVT in experimental group and control group was 4.2% (2/47) and 23.4% (11/47), respectively (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Preventive nursing intervention can improve the quality of nursing work by reducing the occurrence of DVT signi?cantly and deserve the promotion.
