ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the points of nursing cooperation during hand-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for simultaneous operation of bilateral lung metastasectomy.Methods The preoperative preparation,nursing cooperation during the surgery,the cleaning and maintenance of surgical instruments and equipment after operation were retrospectively summarized in 72 patients who underwent hand-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for simultaneous treatment of bilateral pulmonary metastases. ResultsAll the procedures of surgery were smooth.No patients were converted to thoracotomy or died of surgery. Conclusions It is an important challenge for nursing quality in the operation room and the cleaning and maintenance of surgical instruments and equipment in carrying out hand-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.The skilled nursing cooperation and standardized operating procedures could improve the quality of intraoperative nursing cooperation.It could ensure the smooth process of simultaneous operation of bilateral lung metastasectomy.
