ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and nursing strategy of Comfeel transparent paste in treating peripheral inserted central catheter (PICC)-associated allergic dermatitis. MethodsSixty patients with PICC puncture-associated local allergic dermatitis treated between June 2011 and March 2013 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 30 patients in each group. The experimental group was treated with dexamethasone sodium phosphate and Comfeel transparent paste, while the control group was treated with dexamethasone sodium phosphate and 3M transparent dressing. The curative effect was compared between the two methods. ResultsTwelve patients were cured with a curing rate of 40.0% in the control group and 22 patients were cured, and the curing rate was 73.3% in the experimental group. The difference between them was significant (P<0.05). ConclusionTreatment with dexamethasone sodium phosphate and Comfeel transparent paste for PICC-associated allergic dermatitis is quite effective, and the patients felt comfortable with low pains. In addition, it reduces the extubation rate of PICC and improves the care quality.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the infiuence of doctor-nurse double check table applied before operation on the completion of preoperative preparation in gastrointestinal surgery department of class-three grade-one hospitals. MethodsA total of 647 selective operation patients from April to September 2013 in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery were divided into observation group (n=315) and control group (n=332) based on admission time. After training for medical staff, the check tables were filled, and relatively high frequency issues were followed up for quality tracking. The completion of preoperative preparation was compared between the two groups after operation. ResultsCompared with the control group, the completion of preoperative preparation and satisfaction of patients of the observation group were significantly higher and the operation delay was significantly lower (P<0.05). ConclusionPreoperative application of doctor-nurse double check table can significantly improve the completion rate of preoperative preparation, the operation delay phenomenon and satisfaction of patients, promote the communication between doctors and nurses, reduce the risk of operation, and ensure the safety of surgical patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the leakage management and skin care by improved homemade portable vacuum sealing drainage device used for enterocutaneous fistula, in order to solve such confusing problems as leakage collection and nursing for patients with inconvenient activity. MethodsThe homemade portable vacuum sealing drainage device was made by using hydrophilic fiber of silver ion antimicrobial dressings, leak-proof strings, skin protective film, transparent patches, sputum suction tube, bottle of portable infusion, and negative pressure drainage bottle. Between January 2011 and September 2013, patients with enterocutaneous fistula admitted into our hospital were divided into traditional treatment group and portable vacuum sealing treatment group according to the admission time, and traditional center negative pressure suction treatment and portable negative pressure drainage method were used respectively for the two groups of patients. We verified the effect of the mobile vacuum sealing drainage device through comparing these two groups in terms of wound healing time, redness, burst and impregnation of the skin. ResultsThe wound healing time was significantly shorter for patients in the portable vacuum sealing drainage treatment group (P<0.05), and patients in this group also had a lower occurrence of skin redness, impregnation and burst. ConclusionHomemade portable negative pressure drainage device for enterocutaneous fistula patients can reduce the incidence of skin complications such as redness, impregnation and burst, promote patients' activity, and reduce the patients' pain.
