RESUMO
Objective To compare the effect of high negative pressure drainage system and the traditional suction drainage system applied in thyroid surgery.Methods Eligible patients were selected randomly and divided into high negative pressure drainage group(30 cases) and traditional suction drainage group(30 cases).The draining rate within 24 hours after operation,delayed extubation rate,postoperative bleeding,rates of recurrent laryngeal nerve Injury,postoperative infection rate,degree of extubation pain and the incidence of severe pain of both groups were observed and difference of incidence of incision adhesions 1 month after operation were observed.Results The average drainage within 24 hours after operation in experimental group was (19.00 ± 6.79) ml,while (28.53 ± 14.74) ml in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Delayed extubation rate in experimental group was 3.33 ％,while 26.67％ in control group (x2 =4.71,P ＜ 0.05).Incidence of hematoma and bleeding after operation in experimental group was 0％,while 10％ in control group(x2 =1.40,P ＞ 0.05).No recurrent laryngeal nerve injury was found in either group,Incidence was 0％.The incidence of infection in experimental group was 0％,while 10％ in control group (x2 =1.40,P ＞0.05).The incidence of severe pain when extubation in experimental group was 0％,while 100％ in control group (x2 =60.00,P ＜ 0.05).Incidence of incision adhesions in experimental group was 0.33 ％,while 30％ in control group (x2 =6.14,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Draining rate,delayed extubation rate and incidence of incision adhesions could be reduced with high negative pressure drainage system applied in thyroid surgery,which is worthy of clinical.
