ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of early interfering of yellow-water on Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) in lower extremities of hip fracture patients after operation. Methods 60 patients with hip fracture were recruited into a control group and a treatment group randomly. The control group was treated with low molecular heparin,while the treatment group was treated additionally with yellow-water on that basis. The status of pain, swelling levels, vascular color doppler ultrasound and safety of medication were reviewed after two weeks. Results There was 23.3% cure rate and 60.0% significant improvement rate in the treatment group, and 13.3% cure rate and 40.0% significant improvement rate in the treatment group. The therapeutic effect in the treatment group was better than the control group, with significant difference (P＜0.05 ) . Conclusion Yellow-water was effective in early interfering in DVT in lower extremity due to its quickness in eliminating swelling and alleviating pains with no stimulus feeling.
