Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of wrist restrain gloves in elderly patients with restlessness on their unplanned extubation.Methods Totals of 80 cases of elderly patients with restlessness were divided into control group and observation group,40 cases in each group.And traditional wrist restrains were used to the patients in the control group,while the wrist restrain gloves (also know as wave plate) were applied in the observation group.The frequency of unplanned extubation and the effects of restrain were compared between two groups.Results It showed that the incidence of unplanned extubation in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group (5％ vs 45％),there was statistical difference between two groups (x2 =8.273,P ＜0.05).And patients' satisfaction of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (100％ vs 30％),there was statistical difference between two groups (x2 =9.652,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Application of wrist restrain gloves could reduce the incidence of unplanned extubation in elderly patients with restlessness,and improve their satisfaction.
