Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the causes of discomfort occurring in the interventional treatment of diabetic foot, to discuss the individualized nursing measures for improving the patient's comfort and cooperation,and for increasing the successful rate of the interventional procedure.MethodsThe control group included 9 patients who received conventional nursing care.The study group had 13 patients who accepted individualized nursing care and nursing intervention, which was designed according to every patient's individual conditions. ResultsIn the control group, one patient could not endure the surgery to the end because of the long operating time. Another two patients had to take examinations repeatedly because the imaging quality was very poor,which was caused by the body movement due to uncomfortable mechanical stimulation.Urinary retention occurred in one patient.The mean operative time of the control group was 2.8 hour per surgery.The average dosage of contrast medium used was 150 -300 ml per procedure.All the subjects in the study group completed the surgery successfully,the mean operative time was 2.2 hour per surgery and the average dosage of contrast medium used was 100 -200 ml per procedure.Conclusion During the perioperative period of interventional treatment for diabetic foot, the effective individualized nursing care and nursing intervention,the measures to improve patient's comfort and the cooperation,etc. can certainly increase the successful rate,saving the operating time and reducing the contrast dosage.
