Abstract
Our aim is to investigate the effect of active ankle movement to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients who received lower limb surgery, and to provide a theory of evidence for rehabilitation nursing of patients after orthopedic surgery. Between January 2012 and December 2013, a total of 174 patients were randomized as case group (n = 96) and control group (n = 78). Case group received routine nursing and active ankle movement (30 times/min, 1-7 days after surgery), while control group only received routine nursing. The symptoms and signs of DVT were in real-time observation during the experiment. Thigh and crus circumference, maximum venous outflow (MVO), maximum venous capacity (MVC), and MVO ratio (MVO ratio = MVO/MVC) in the two groups were measured 1-7 days after surgery. Six-month follow-up study was also conducted to observe the occurrence of DVT. Our study revealed that thigh circumference in the case group decreased compared with the control group in 5-7 days (fifth day: 39.98 ± 3.25 vs. 41.01 ± 3.38, P = 0.043; sixth day: 38.21 ± 3.81 vs. 39.49 ± 3.79, P = 0.029; seventh day: 37.13 ± 3.15 vs. 38.76 ± 3.31, P = 0.001), and crus circumference in the case group also decreased compared with the control group in 5-...Continue Reading
