Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of skin temperature observation on the prevention of pressure injury in elderly patients with lower extremity arterial occlusion.Methods:From May 2020 to December 2021, 98 elderly patients with lower extremity arterial occlusion in Vascular Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected by convenient sampling. According to the method of random number table, the patients were divided into control group and observation group, with 49 cases each. During thrombolytic therapy, the control group adopted routine nursing, and the observation group implemented skin temperature observation on the basis of the control group. The hospital stay, the incidence of pressure injury and the degree of injury were compared between the two groups.Results:The hospital stay of the control group and the observation group were (15.02±2.76) and (10.22±3.04) days respectively, and the incidence of pressure injury was 22.45% (11/49) and 8.16% (4/49) , respectively, with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . The incidence of stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ pressure injury in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Management measures based on skin temperature observation can effectively reduce the incidence of pressure injury during thrombolytic therapy in elderly patients with lower extremity arterial occlusion and shorten the hospital stay.
