Abstract:
Objective? To investigate the feasibility and safety of vacuum modelling pad for patients with lateral position in thoracic surgery to improve the convenience and comfortable experience for medical staff and patients. Methods? From May 2017 to March 2018, 100 patients who underwent thoracic surgery under general anesthesia with lateral position in the operating room of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were randomly selected and divided into observation group(n=50) and control group (n=50) according to random number table. The polyurethane vacuum modelling pad was used for to secure the patients' position in the observation group, while the sand bag baffle was used to secure the patient's position in the control group. Position placement time and skin pressure blisters were recorded in both groups. Questionnaires were sent out after operation to collect the satisfaction of medical staff with this position. The patients' comfort was followed up within 24 hours after operation. Results? The position placement time in the observation group was (183.56±10.36) s, shorter than the control group with (290.80±14.71)s and the difference was statistically significant(P＜ 0.01); there were 11 cases of skin reddening under pressure and 2 cases of blister in the observation group, which is statistically different from the control group with 24 cases of skin reddening under pressure and 9 cases of blister(P＜ 0.05). Patients' comfort score was(6.72±0.39) in the observation group, higher than the control group with (6.02±0.44) and the difference was statistically significant(P＜ 0.01). In terms of the 4 items of "the convenient operation", "comfortable standing position", "patient safety" and"overall evaluation", the observation group scored higher than the control group with statistical differences (P＜0.01); in terms of the "surgical field exposure" and "fasten effects", there was no statistical difference (P＞0.05). Conclusions? The use of modelling pad for patient lateral position in thoracic surgery can not only prevent organ and skin damage and ensure patient safety, but also simplify the operation procedure, improve the comfort of standing position and the working efficiency and satisfaction of the medical staff.
