Abstract:
Objective To evaluate effects of design of compression and fixation device for wound after permanent pacemaker implantation on compression hemostasis, working intensity of nursing staff and patients′ comfort. Methods Cotton cloth, Velcro tape and snap-fastener were used to design a compression and fixation device for wound after permanent pacemaker implantation. Sixty patients after permanent pacemaker implantation were randomly divided into compression and fixation device group (observation group), and traditional compression group (control group). In addition, the effects of postoperative complications, allergy to medical tape and working intensity of nursing staff for caring wound were evaluated. Results Comparing to the control group, there were significantly lower incidence rate of skin allergy (P<0.05) and shorter working hours needed for nursing staff to care wound (P<0.05).The complications of two groups have no significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusions This design of compression for wound after permanent pacemaker implantation is able to decrease working intensity of nursing staff, improve patients′comfort and show no effects on increasing postoperative complications.
