ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the key points for nursing children with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) treated by transcatheter arterial scleroembolization (TASE) during perioperative period. Method The perioperative treatment and key nursing points for 39 children with KMS undergoing TASE from September 2013 to September 2015 in our hospital were summarized and analyzed retrospectively. Results About 39 children with KMS went through TASE successfully. The operational time ranged from 0.8 to 2.7 hours. The patients were discharged in 2~11 days after TASE. There was 1 case of thrush, 3 cases of respiratory infection symptoms before TASE and 2 cases of hemangioma ulcer after TASE, which were cured by treatment and nursing. Conclusion The careful care to the patients with angeioma lesions, prevention and nursing of hemorrhage, nursing during glucocorticoid treatment, strict observation on the disease condition and prevention of complications after TASE can ensure the smooth implementation of TASE, and promote their recovery from KMS.
