Postpartum rehabilitation massage and diet regulation in preventing postpartum deep venous thrombosis

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of postpartum rehabilitation massage and diet regulation in preventing postpartum deep venous thrombosis. Methods 104 cases of maternal treated in our hospital from January 2016 to June 2017 were selected as the research object, and were divided into observation group and control group with the random number table method. The control group (52 cases) received routine postpartum clinical intervention, while the observation group (52 cases) received postpartum rehabilitation massage and diet regulation. The postpartum incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, hemodynamic indexes, blood coagulation function, and other complications, uterine instauration condition, length of hospital stay, the time of exhaust and urination were compared between the two groups, the psychological condition was assessed with self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self rating depression scale (SDS), the sleep quality was evaluated with Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale (PSQI), the quality of life was evaluated with SF - 36 life quality scale, the maternal satisfaction on intervention was compared. Results The incidence of deep venous thrombosis was 1.92% in the observation group, which was lower than that in the control group (13.46%), and the total complication rate was 3.85%, lower than that in the control group (21.15%) (P<0.05). The postpartum hemodynamic indexes and coagulation function indexes of the observation group were superior to those of the control group (P<0.05). The excellent and good rate of uterine instauration condition was 100.00% in the observation group, higher than that in the control group (92.31%) (P<0.05). In the observation group, the time of hospitalization, exhaust, and urination were all shorter than those in the control group, SAS, SDS, PSQI, and SF-36 scores were all better than those in the control group (P<0.05); the satisfaction rate of the observation group was 96.15%, significantly higher than 82.69% of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Postpartum rehabilitation massage and diet regulation can significantly enhance the level of maternal postpartum care, and reduce the incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and the rate of other maternal complications, with high security, rapid recovery, good uterine recovery, good psychological state, improved sleep and life quality, and high maternal satisfaction rate, which can be applied.
