RESUMO
Objective:To summarize the perioperative nursing practice of 15 cases of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) placement.Methods:The nursing experience of 15 patients who received AUS placement in Beijing Hospital from November 2013 to December 2020 was analyzed. Nursing points included preoperative nursing, intraoperative nursing cooperation, postoperative nursing and follow-up education.Results:All the 15 patients successfully activated the control pump six weeks after AUS placement, 12 patients could reach the standard of social continence (use of urine pads ≤ 2 pieces per day), and the score of urinary incontinence symptom decreased from (13.50 ± 2.2) to (8.08 ± 1.62), and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 6.79, P<0.01); the urinary incontinence quality of life score increased from (71.41 ± 16.41) to (86.25 ± 10.91), and the difference was statistically significant ( t = - 2.61, P<0.05). Conclusion:AUS placement is effective and promising in clinical use, but nursing experience needs to be observed clinically and summarized.
