Objective:To observe the efficacy of cold potato chips patching to prevent phlebitis caused by vinorelbine. Methods:50 cases with lung cancer were enrolled and randomly divided into cold potato chips patching group and the controlled group.The occurrence cases and severity of phlebitis were observed.Results:Phlebitis occurred to 8 cases (28.6%) of the 28 cases in the ice potato chips patching group:red-swelling type occurring to 5 cases and hard-section type,to 3 cases.In the controlled group,phlebitis occurred to 13 patients(59%):red-swelling type occurring to 8 cases; hard-section type,to 3 cases and necrosis,to 2 cases.The incidence of phlebitis in the cold potato chips patching group was significantly reduced(P

Objective To formulate and standardized the procedure of bowl preparation before transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. Methods The standardized transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy flowchart were formulated based on the best evidences and recommendations. One hundred and forty patients selected with suspected of prostate cancer and scheduled for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy was equally assigned to two groups, the control group was given routine hospital practice before biopsy, and the observation group followed the formulated flowchart. Monitoring two groups for complications, time cost for bowl preparation, medical billing and the average day of hospitalization. Results The incidence of complications and the number of hospitalization days between two groups were comparable, the observation group in bowl preparation time was (3.75 ± 0.78) min, the control group in bowl preparation time was (11.88 ± 1.93) min, the difference of two groups showed statistical significance (t=15.643, P<0.01). The observation group in medical bill was￥(81.62±15.62), the control group in medical bill was ￥(427.78 ± 76.87), the difference of two groups showed statistical significance (t=-36.964, P<0.01). Conclusions Application of evidence-based practice to formalize bowl preparation and antibiotic use in transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy patient can facilitate the clinical nurses to provide homogenized care to prostate biopsy patients as well as improve the efficiency of nursing work.
