Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of the self-modified lower extremity exercise on preventing postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) for patients after intracranial aneurysm surgery. Methods A total of 90 patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm surgery in the Neurosurgery Department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2017 to June 2018 were recruited by convenience sampling method, and divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, with 45 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with routine postoperative nursing. While the modified lower extremity exercise was applied in the rehabilitation exercise of the patients in the observation group. DVT formation status of lower limbs was compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of DVT in lower limbs was 53.33% (24/45) in the control group, and 11.11% (5/45) in the observation group. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=18.366, P<0.01) . Conclusions In the perioperative nursing of patients with intracranial aneurysms, the implementation of modified lower limb exercise can effectively prevent the formation of lower limb DVT.
