ObjectiveTo explore the nursing experience of preoperative treatment for urethral injury with ureteroscopic urethral realignment. MethodsThe key points of the nursing experience of preoperative treatment for 58 cases of urethral injury with ureteroscopic urethral realignment were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated between January 2008 and December 2012. ResultsUrethra catheterization of the 58 patients receiving the ureteroscopic urethral realignment was all successful. The catheter was extracted 4-8 weeks after the treatment, and then the urethra was dilated for two years. All patients had normal urination without any surgery complications during the 5-28-month clinical follow-up. ConclusionUrinary tract infections can be prevented effectively under professional and meticulous preoperative treatment. The incidence of urethral stricture can be reduced greatly. The quality of the patients' life can be improved a lot.
ObjectiveTo explore the perioperative nursing mode for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). MethodsA total of 866 patients with PCNL having undergone lithotripsy between January 2012 and December 2013 in our hospital were included in our study. Before surgery, they received position training, health education and psychological nursing. After surgery, patients received an integral medical wound care and pipeline management, as well as management of infectious shock and intercostal neuralgia. At the same time, we gave them dietary guidance and other health guidance. ResultsAll the patients were successfully discharged from hospital. Postoperative infection rate was 2.4%, septic shock rate was 0.2%, bleeding rate was 2.2%, urinary leakage rate was 1.5%, the rate of pneumothorax was 0.6%, subcutaneous emphysema rate was 0.3%, and intercostal neuralgia rate was 0.6%. The average hospital stay was (11.2±2.8) days. ConclusionThe innovative nursing mode and techniques have great significance on the success of PCNL surgery.
Objective To develop a multidisciplinary nursing program for Prader-Willi syndrome with spinal deformity and evaluate its effectiveness in clinical practice. Methods In July 2016, a multidisciplinary collaborative team was established before the treatment of children with Prader-Willi syndrome complicated with spinal deformity. For the nursing difficulties in the perioperative period, relevant literature was consulted, and a multidisciplinary collaborative nursing plan was formulated, which included nutrition management and blood glucose control, management of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, behavioral intervention related to mental change, and early identification and management of complications. The developed multidisciplinary collaborative nursing program was applied to three children with Prader-Willi syndrome complicated with spinal deformity in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2016 to October 2018, and their postoperative recovery was evaluated. Results One child had inguinal skin ulceration when admitted to hospital, which was significantly improved after active treatment. The perioperative blood glucose level control of the three children was satisfactory, and there was no postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction, deep wound infection, respiratory complications, internal fixation failure or other complications, and no asphyxia, fall, loss, or other adverse events. The follow-up compliance after discharge was 100%. Conclusions Multidisciplinary collaboration programs can escort patient’ safety and promote their recovery, improve the professional level of nursing staff, and reflect the nursing value. As a working mode, it can be further popularized and used for reference in the nursing of other difficult diseases.
