Effect of Infrared Therapy Apparatus Irradiation on Arteriovenous Fistula in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis
Objective To analyze the effect of infrared therapy irradiation in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.Methods 60 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were divided into two groups according to 30 patients.Patients in the control group used routine nursing intervention.In the control group,the observation group was added with infrared therapy instrument irradiation.Both groups intervened for 3 months.Time of fistula use,fistula flow improvement,quality of life[Quality of Life Core Questionnaire(QLQ-C30)],complication rate,and satisfaction with care were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the control group,the observation group had longer duration and better improvement(P<0.05);compared with the control group,the nursing satisfaction and quality of survival scores were higher(P<0.05);and the complication rate was lower than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The intervention of infrared therapy irradiation in maintenance hemodialysis patients is beneficial to improve the blood flow of fistula,reduce the incidence of complications,prolong the time of fistula,and promote the improvement of nursing satisfaction and quality of life,which is worthy of promotion and application.
