Effect of programmed exercise on the deep vein thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fractures
Objective To explore the effects of programmed exercise on the deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in elderly patients with hip fractures.Methods Totally,110 elderly patients with hip fractures admitted to the hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were enrolled in the present study.They were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group,with 55 cases in each group.Patients in both groups were given routine nursing,and those in the experimental group were additionally given a programmed exercise intervention.Blood flow velocity of deep femoral vein,plasma D-dimer and incidence of DVT were compared between two groups.Results Before operation,there were no significant differences in blood flow velocity of deep femoral vein and plasma D-dimer between the two groups(P>0.05).At 1,3,5 and 7 days of surgery,the blood flow velocity of deep femoral vein was significantly higher and plasma D-dimer was significantly lower in the experimental group than those of the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of DVT in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of control group(1.8%[1/55]vs 12.5%[7/55],P<0.05).Conclusion Programmed exercise can significantly increase the blood flow velocity of deep femoral vein,and reduce the incidence of DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures.
