Objective To investigate the effect of PDCA circulation management on pain, psychology and prognosis of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm in the perioperative period.Methods  The clinical data of seventy-six patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm who received perioperative nursing based on PDCA circulation management from April 2016 to March 2017 were retrospective analyzed and these patients were selected as the study group, including 44 males, 32 females, aged 23–65 (47.27±5.87) years. At the same time, 72 patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm who received routine perioperative nursing from April 2015 to March 2016 were selected as the control group, including 41 males, 31 females, aged 24–67 (48.30±5.26) years. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results The operation time (t=11.342, P<0.05) and hospitalization time (t=5.986, P<0.05) of the study group were significantly shorter than those of the control group. The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of the two groups had no significant difference before nursing (t=0.914, P=0.361), but the VAS scores in the study group after nursing were obviously lower than those in the control group (t=5.475, P<0.05). The self-rating depression scale (SDS, t=1.026, P=0.307) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores (t=7.866, P<0.05) of the two groups had no significant difference before nursing, while the SDS (t=7.657, P<0.05) and SAS (t=7.866, P<0.05) scores in the study group after nursing were obviously lower than those in the control group. The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (χ2=4.292, P=0.038).Conclusion PDCA circulation management used in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm in the perioperative period can effectively relieve patients' pain, depression and anxiety, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, and the prognosis is good.
