Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application effect of Sihuang Powder application on Yongquan Point in patients undergoing hip and knee replacement.Methods:The convenient sampling method was used to select 172 patients after hip and knee replacement in Yantai Mountain Hospital from October 2021 to August 2022 as the research objects. They were divided into the control group ( n=85) and the experimental group ( n=87) by the random number table method. Patients in the control group were treated with routine nursing intervention, while patients in the experimental group were treated with Sihuang Powder application on Yongquan Point on the basis of control group. The fibrinogen content and D-dimer before and after intervention, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs during hospitalization and the length of postoperative hospitalization were compared between the two groups. Results:On the thrid day after operation, fibrinogen content and D-dimer level of the experimental group were lower than those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.05). The incidence of DVT during hospitalization in the experimental group was 5.75% (5/87), lower than 15.29% (13/85) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The postoperative hospitalization days in the experimental group was shorter than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Applying Sihuang Powder to Yongquan Acupoint can effectively improve blood hypercoagulability, reduce the incidence of lower limb DVT in patients after hip and knee replacement surgery, reduce postoperative complications and effectively shorten the length of hospital stay.
