Abstract:

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of clinical effect of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) treatment of large destructive injury of lower limbs, and explore the effective nursing strategy. Methods One hundred and eight patients subject to emergency operation for large destructive injury of lower limbs were treated with VSD on wound after operation, and different numbers of VSD film were used based on the area of wound. The influencing factors of curative effect were analysed. Results Catheter obstruction happened in 22 patients (20.37%), film leakage occurred in 10 patients (9.26%), and drainage tube slipped off in 2 patients (1.85%). Effective nursing measures were taken based on the symptoms to ensure the unobstructed drainage. Conclusion In VSD treatment of large destructive injury of lower limbs, adoption of effective nursing measures can improve the clinical effects of VSD.
