Objective To explore the effect of cryo/cuff system at different durations on postoperative swelling and pain in patients with knee arthroscopy.Methods Ninety-two patients having undergone knee arthroscopy were divided into 3 groups: the study group(n=31),the control group(n=31)and the blank control group(n=30).The study group were managed with circulating cold compress therapy for 30 mins once every 8 hours 24 hours after operation,the control group with circulating cold compress therapy for 30 mins once every 8 hours 48 hours after operation and the blank control group with routine nursing.The degree of pains was assessed using visual analogue scale and the level of swelling using the difference in the shank circle between the diseased and healthy limbs.Results The study group and control group were both better than the blank group in swelling and pain control(P<0.05). The study group showed no difference in postoperative pains and swelling than the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion Postoperative knee arthroscopy,using cryo/cuff system can alleviate pains and swelling of joints,which is conducive for the early ambulation and promoted rehabilitation.

Objective:To provide a reference for in-depth application and research in the field of coronary heart disease traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing. Based on the CiteSpace software, the development trend and research hotspots of the literature are displayed and analyzed in this field.Methods:The China Knowledge Network (CNKI) database was used to retrieve the literature related to the research in this field published in the past 20 years from January 1st 2001 to October 5th 2021, and CiteSpace was used to visually analyze the number of articles, research institutions, authors and keywords, and to interpret its meaning in combination with the content of the atlas.Results:The amount of research literature in this field was generally on the rise, but the cooperation between various research institutions and authors needs to be strengthened. Research hotspots mainly focused on five areas: coronary heart disease-related symptom care, the application of characteristic TCM nursing techniques, the outcome indicators of the research, the TCM health management of patients with coronary heart disease, and the application model of TCM nursing.Conclusions:It is recommended to strengthen multidisciplinary and teamwork in this field, carry out high-quality randomized controlled studies, and focus on related research on multiple nursing models, evaluation tools, and symptom management.
