Application of A New Compression Bandage in Patients with Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage after Lumbar Surgery
Objective To explore the clinical application of a new compression bandage designed and made by ourselves.Methods A total of 42 patients with cerebrospinal fluid leakage after lumbar surgery treated in our spine center from April 2021 to April 2022 were selected.They were divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method,with 21 cases in each group.The patients with cerebrospinal fluid leakage in the observation group were treated with self-designed compression bandage,while the control group was treated with common abdominal band.The nursing bandage time,drainage tube retention time,and the local skin condition of patients were observed.Results The observation group showed significantly shorter nursing bandage time and drainage tube retention time than the control group[(1.12±0.24)points vs.(6.74±1.43)points;(5.09±1.12)d vs.(7.18±1.16)d](P<0.001).The observation group showed no abnormalities in the skin.There were 9 cases(42.86%)of skin abnormalities in the control group,including 4 cases of redness and swelling,1 case of blister,and 4 cases of skin rupture.Conclusion The new compression bandage helps improve the nursing effect of compression bandage,shorten the nursing time of compression bandage and drainage tube retention time,significantly improve the skin condition of patients,greatly reduce the occurrence of nursing adverse events,and promote postoperative recovery of patients.
