Effect of Nursing Intervention Based on Caprini Risk Assessment Scale for Venous Thromboembolism in Perioperative Patients with Liver Cancer

Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of nursing intervention based on Caprini risk assessment scale for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in perioperative patients with liver cancer. Methods: A total of 128 hepatocellular cancer (HCC) patients who were hospitalized in our department from January 2021 to March 2022 and met the research criteria were selected. According to odd and even numbers in the order of inclusion, 64 cases were divided into two groups: a control group and an observation group. The control group received routine nursing intervention during perioperative period, while the observation group received nursing intervention based on Caprini risk assessment scale for VTE. The incidence of VTE and complications were compared between the two groups. Results: The incidence of VTE and postoperative complications in the observation group were lower than those in the control group（P < 0.05). Conclusion: Nursing intervention based on Caprini risk assessment scale for VTE can reduce the incidence of perioperative deep vein thrombosis and complications in patients with liver cancer; thus, it is worthy of clinical application.
