Nursing Experience of Vena Cava Filter Combined with Catheter Thrombolysis in the Treatment of Deep Venous Thrombosis of Lower Limbs

Abstract

Objective — To observe the curative effect of urokinase catheter thrombolysis in treating deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs after implantation of vena cava filter and explore nursing measures and nursing points. Methods — Perioperative nursing of 30 deep venous thrombosis patients with catheter thrombolysis treatment were summarized retrospectively. Results — 30 patients were conducted with catheter pumped urokinase to treat venous thrombus, and the swelling and pain of limbs disappeared. No patient had pulmonary embolism or hemorrhage. Conclusion — When we use urokinase catheter thrombolysis to treat deep venous thrombosis, a comprehensive preparation such as health education, psychological nursing, close observation on patients’ condition, proper fixation of catheter, nursing of thrombolytic drugs and prevention of infection can reduce the occurrence of complications and promote the patients rehabilitation.
