Abstract:
Objective To alleviate the pain of patients with lower extremity trauma at dressing change, reduce staffing and increase the comfort of the operator and patient during dressing changes with design of lower limb dressing change stent. Methods Lower limb dressing change stent was made by welding and assembling with stainless steel tubes. In the clinical study, a total of 56 patients were divided into experimental group ( using lower limb dressing change stent) and control group (not using lower limb dressing change stent), 28 cases respectively. Patients′comfort, self-evaluation of anxiety scale ( SAS) , visual analogue scale ( VAS) pain score were compared between two groups. Results 85. 7% of patients in experimental group and 32. 1% patients in control group gave very good, good and general answers during comfortable evaluation. 14. 3% patients in experimental group and 67.9% patients in control group considered that dressing changes were bad but tolerable or very bad. The difference between two groups was statistically significant ( Z=-3.98, P<0.05) . Self-evaluation of anxiety scale score ( SAS) on postoperative day 7 in experimental group and control group were ( 44. 36 ± 15. 94) and (53.50±15.37), the difference was statistically significant (t=-2.184, P<0.05). Visual analogue scale pain score (VAS) on postoperative day 2 and 5 in experimental group were (6.75±1.43) and (4.60± 1. 16) and lower than those in control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t=3. 90, 3. 28, P<0. 01) . Conclusions The lower limb dressing tent has advantages of simple structure, low cost, and could reduce the pain and psychological burden of patients, increase comfort during dressing changes and is worth popularization and application in clinical orthopedics.
