Objective: To explore the incidence and risk factors of symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) after total knee and hip arthroplasty. Methods: We prospectively observed 982 patients who underwent total knee and hip arthroplasty in the department of orthopaedics in our hospital from January 2015 to June 2016. Symptomatic VTE was diagnosed by doppler ultrasonography. We investigated the incidence and risk factors of symptomatic VTE, the diagnostic time of VTE, the variation of D-Dimer, and the vital signs and the chief complaint of the patients. Results: Totally 18 symptomatic VTE patients was diagnosed during hospitalization and the incidence was 1.8% (18/982) with 15 patients of symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis (1.5%) and 3 patients of symptomatic Pulmonary Embolism (0.3%). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the risk factors were age over than 72 (OR=2.768), the long hospitalized stay (OR=4.540) and medical history of cerebral infarction (OR=4.012), (P<0.05). Most patients diagnosed DVT and PE within the 7 days after surgery. D-Dimer of symptomatic VTE patients had a large variation and was apparently higher than normal range within the 7 days after surgery. VTE patients complained of pain or swelling in lower limb, and had the vital sign changes of SpO2 decreasing and transient loss of consciousness. Conclusion: The patients who are older than 72, long hospitalized stay and medical history of cerebral infarction are the high risk population of symptomatic VTE. Nurses should observe the clinical manifestation, the changes of vital sign and D-Dimer within 7 days after surgery, which is helpful to indentify VTE in early stage.

Study of the effect of transitional care on women who had outpatient voluntary abortion
. 2017, 17 (3):  419-423.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2017.03.031
Abstract ( 558 )   PDF (2730KB) ( 104 )  
Objective: Discuss the effect of implementing transitional care to reduced the rate of repeated abortion. Methods: Totally 122 women with abortion were randomly selected and divided into intervention group and control group with 61 of each. Intervention group had PAC, the control group had the routine nursing care. We compared their knowledge to contraceptive measures after after 1 month, and the usage of contraceptive tools as well as rate of repeated abortion after 6 months. Results: The rate of knowledge is higher in the intervention group than controlled group after 1 month. The rate of usage of contraceptive tools is 96.7% which is higher than the controlled group (85.2%), and the rate of repeated abortion is 1.6% in the intervention group which is lower than controlled group (9.8%) after 6 months, P<0.05. Conclusion: Transitional care after artificial abortion women has following positive effects: improve knowledge of contraception, promote contraception, lower repeated abortion rate, improve the level of reproductive health, and protect women's physical and mental health.

Study on the management of noninvasive ventilator pressure ulcers of elderly patients with terminal pneumonia
. 2017, 17 (3):  423-427.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2017.03.032
Abstract ( 594 )   PDF (3023KB) ( 191 )  
Objective: To normalize the management and prevention of noninvasive ventilator pressure ulcers, of elderly patients with terminal pneumonia. Methods: In accordance with the 2 cases of noninvasive ventilator pressure ulcers of elderly patients with terminal pneumonia, a comprehensive analysis of the causes was used to develop the usage specification and operation procedure, then compared nursing practice and the rate of noninvasive ventilator pressure ulcers before and after the implementation of measures. Results: There was significant difference in the nursing practice and the rate of pressure ulcer. Conclusion: In consideration of the particularity of noninvasive ventilator pressure ulcers of elderly patients with terminal pneumonia, to formulate the usage specification and operation procedure of noninvasive ventilator can effectively prevent noninvasive ventilator pressure ulcers, that is the focus of the elderly specialist clinical nursing work and the important measures to ensure the quality and safety of nursing for the aged.

Research progress of Shared Decision-Making of doctors and patients
. 2017, 17 (3):  428-431.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-1756.2017.03.033
Abstract ( 638 )   PDF (2436KB) ( 430 )  
As a new medical cultural model, Shared Decision-Making gets more and more attention in academia. Shared Decision Making is a process which clinicians/patients and their relatives decide treatment together. In other words, medical staff tells patient about the advantages and disadvantages of the various treatments, patient weighs the pros and cons, and medical staff and patient make decision together after fully communication. On the basis of reviewing related literatures, this article summarized the research status of Shared Decision-Making and aimed at providing a preference for theoretical research and clinical practice.

The impact of oral care on oral health status and prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill patients
. 2017, 17 (3):  432-432. 
Abstract ( 771 )   PDF (2027KB) ( 122 )  
Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the impact of oral care practices on oral health status of patients in intensive care unit and the incidence rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Method: This clinical trial recruited 100 participants who were randomly assigned to a control group (receiving oral care by nurses) and an intervention group (receiving systematic care by the researcher) during 2015-2016. Beck Oral Assessment Scale was used to determine the required number of times for receiving oral care with regard to patient’s oral health in the intervention group. Each care included adjusting endotracheal tube cuff pressure, brushing with toothpaste, using antiseptics and moistening the lips. The oral cavity was examined using BOAS and Mucosal-Plaque Score, and Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score was used for detecting pneumonia. Results: The BOAS scoring showed significant differences between the two groups from the first to fifth day (P<0.001). The mucosal-plaque index was significantly different between the two groups from the third day to fifth day (P<0.001). The incidence rate of pneumonia on the third and fifth day was 10% (5) and 14% (7) in the control group, and 4% (2) and 10% (5) in the intervention group, respectively. The Fisher test did not show significant difference (P=0.538), however, the incidence rate in the intervention group reduced compared with the control group. Conclusion: Although following a systematic oral care program could not significantly decrease the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill patients compared to the conventional oral care practices, it significantly improved the oral health and mucosal-plaque index.
