Objective To study the related factors in diabetic patients with lOwer extremital deep vein thrombosis(DVT) and the nursing strategy. Methods 58 diabetic cases underwent lower limbs 99mTc-MAA veins imaging and/or ultrasunography. The related laboratory data such as fasting plasma glucose(FPG),blood cholesterol, blood triglycerides and clinic informations such as age, disease courses, lower limbs symptoms (swelling, erooted veins and diabetic foot) and acute complication (diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar non ketotic diabetic coma) were collected simultaneously. The relationship of each factors with DVT incidence were analyzed. Results 28 patients (48.3%) complicated with lower limbs DVT. The DVT incidence was signifi-cantly different among patients with different age, disease courses, FPG, blood cholesterol, blood triglycerides, lower limbs symptoms and acute complication, respectively. No significant difference was seen in patients with different blood pressure, body weight index, diabetes type. Conclusions Various dangerous factors accumu-lating in DM such as old age, long disease courses, high FPG, high blood cholesterol and high blood triglyc-erides contribute to the high incidence of lower limbs DVT. Early intervention, comprehensive treatment and in-tensive nursing should be applied to reduce the incidence of DVT.

Objective To study the related risk factors of pulmonary embolism(PE) in diabetic patients.Methods 58 diabetic cases were underwent lower limbs 99mTc-MAA veins imaging(and/or ultrasonography) and pulmonary perfusion imaging.The related laboratory data [fasting blood glucose(FBG),blood cholesterol,blood long chain triglycerides(LCT)]and clinial informations [age,disease courses,chest symptoms(chest pain and short of breathe),lower limbs symptoms(swelling,crooted veins and diabetic foot) and acute complication(diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar non ketotic diabetic coma)]were collected simultaneously.SPSS was used for χ2-test and Logistic regression analysis.Results 28 patients(48.3%) were showed to be with lower limbs deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and by 99Tcm-MAA imaging,10 cases(17.2%) with PE.The PE ratio(32.1%) of the patients with DVT was more higher than no DVT(3.3%)(χ2 = 6.53,P＜0.05).Single factor analysis showed the PE ratios had significant difference to factors of chest symptoms,lower limbs symptoms and acute complication(all P＜0.05),respectively.There were no significant difference in other factors of age,disease courses,FBG,blood cholesterol,LCT,blood pressure,weight index,DM type(all P＞0.05),respectively.Multiplicity analysis indicated:the related risk factors of PE included chest symptoms(Score = 13.316,P＜0.01) and lower limbs symptoms(Score = 7.780,P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in other factors(all P＞0.05),respectively.Conclusion The serious DM with chest symptoms,lower limbs symptoms and/or DVT could be controlled as early as possible by all kinds of treatment.It would decrease the PE complication.
