Effects of minimally invasive surgery combined with specialized pain management nursing care on postoperativepain improvement and life quality after spinal injury.

Abstract

To determine the impacts to research the impacts of pain's Specialized Pain Management Nursing Care in the perioperative period on pain symptoms and life quality of patients experiencing minimally invasive surgery for spinal injury. Eighty patients with a spinal injury who underwent minimally invasive surgery in the Department of Orthopedics of Baoding No.1 Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. They were split into two groups following different nursing methods (n=40 each group). Specialized Pain Management Nursing Care were given to patients in the observation group. Those in the control group were given treated with routine care. Their pain score and nursing effect were compared, after which their quality of life, daily living ability and complication rate compared and analyzed. The pain degree in the control group was considerably more than that in the observation group in the 1st postoperative period. The pain degree, which decreased in both groups, slumped more significantly in the observation group on the 2nd and 3rd postoperative days. The postoperative hospital stays and pain duration in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the nursing effect was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). After postoperative nursing intervention. Minimally invasive surgery integrated with the Specialized Pain Management Nursing Care can remarkably ameliorate pain after spinal injury surgery, reducing complications' incidence, and improving the life quality for patients.
