Hemicorporectomy, occasionally being varied as total pelvis resection, is the highest section in lower limb amputation. The nursing for a hemicorporectomy patient was reported.

: Objective To explore the approaches for the pressure sores in patients with paraplegia using drainage tube. Methods 19 cases of pressure sore accepted continuous drainage after thorough debridement were reported. Results 18 cases cured, one infected in wound and dehisced partly, and cured after suture. They were followed up for 1～24 months, and none relapsed. Conclusion Strengthening the nursing of drainage tube can wash out necrotic material intralesion, which would improve the outcome.

Objective To analyze the cause of anemia in patients after hip arthroplasty and to explore correlative nursing intervention. Methods 47 patients undergoing hip arthroplasty in our hospital from 2007 to 2010 were reviewed, they were divided into elderly group (≥70 years old) and non-elderly group (<70 years old). Intra-operative blood loss, post-operative visible blood loss, hidden blood loss, total blood loss, perioperative hemoglobin and number of anemia were compared. Results The average volume of intra-operative blood loss and extra- operative blood loss were significantly lower in elderly group than in non-elderly group (P<0.001); the hidden blood loss was significantly higher in elderly group and in non-elderly group (P<0.001); the incidence of anemia in elderly group was higher than in non-elderly group (P<0.05). Conclusion More post-operative hidden blood loss can be found in patients over 70 years old after hip arthroplasty, so as to the incidence of anemia. The perioperative nursing care and observation should be strengthened to reduce the incidence of anemia.

External fixation devices(EFDs)are generally accepted one of standard treatment methods to patients with complicated limbs fracture.The data of nursing care of 46 cases with complicated limbs fracture treated by EFDs were analyzed retrospectively.Psychological rehabilitation nursing care is very important to treatment for patients with complicated limbs fracture treated by EFDs.

Objective To observe the effects of standardized pain management on old patients with hip fracture. Methods From January, 2015 to June, 2016, 75 old patients (more than 58 years old) with hip fracture were randomly divided into control group (n=37) and observa-tion group (n=38). The control group accepted routine pain management, while the observation group accepted standardized pain manage-ment. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Score (VAS) of the most intensive pain, and their scores for satisfaction were compared. Re-sults There was no significant difference in VAS between two groups before operation (Z=0.845, P>0.05). The VAS was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group postoperatively (Z=5.427, P<0.001). The scores of satisfaction was more in the observa-tion group than in the control group (t=21.346, P<0.001). Conclusion Standardized pain management can significantly reduce perioperative pain in old patients after hip fracture surgery, and improve the satisfaction.

Objective To explore the effect of continuous nursing intervention on limb function and nursing quality after proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Methods From February, 2017 to November, 2018, 100 elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture who underwent PFNA internal fixation in our hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 50) and observation group (n = 50), who accepted routine nursing and continuous nursing respectively for three months. They were assessed with Harris score and visual analogue scale for pain (VAS) before and after the intervention. The postoperative nursing effect was compared. Results The Harris score increased in both groups after the intervention (t > 45.98, P < 0.001), and increased more in the observation group than in the control group (t = 15.03, P < 0.001). The VAS score decreased in both groups after the intervention (t > 16.33, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the observation group than in the control group (t = 9.749, P < 0.001). The effect of nursing was better in the observation group than in the control group (Z = -2.272, P = 0.023). Conclusion Continuous nursing intervention can significantly improve the limb function and nursing satisfaction of elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture after PFNA.
