Effect of traditional Chinese medicine hot compress combined with mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream on arteriovenous fistula hematoma
Objective To investigate the nursing effect of traditional Chinese medicine hot compress combined with mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream on arteriovenous fistula hema-toma.Methods This study was a randomized controlled trial.Sixty patients with arteriovenous fis-tula hematoma admitted to Lianyungang Hospital of TCM from February 2021 to February 2023 were selected and were randomly divided into two groups:a combination group of 30 cases and a reference group of 30 cases.In the reference group,21 males and 9 females,aged(47.58±7.15)years,were treated with mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream combined with routine care.In the combination group,20 males and 10 females,aged(46.45±6.14)years,were treated with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress on the basis of the reference group.The subcutaneous hematoma resolution time,pain duration,incidences of complications,and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were recorded and compared.t test and x2 test were used.Results The subcutaneous hema-toma resolution time and pain duration in the combination group were shorter than those in the ref-erence group[(7.54±2.25)d vs.(10.85±3.14)d,(4.25±0.48)d vs.(6.50±0.51)d],with statistically sig-nificant differences(t=6.934 and 9.072,both P<0.001).The incidence of complications in the combi-nation group was lower than that in the reference group[6.67%(2/30)vs.26.67%(8/30)],and the overall satisfaction with nursing of the combination group was higher than that of the reference group[90.00%(27/30)vs.66.67%(20/30)],with statistically significant differences(x2=4.320 and 4.812,P=0.038 and 0.028).Conclusion The combination of traditional Chinese medicine hot com-press and mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream can save the subcutaneous hematoma resolution time and pain duration for patients with arteriovenous fistula hematoma,improve the nursing satis-faction,reduce the complications,and alleviate the inflammation,which is worthy of clinical promo-tion.
