Analysis in related factors of deep vein thrombosis formation in diabetic patients and the nursing strategy / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the related factors in diabetic patients with lOwer extremital deep vein thrombosis(DVT) and the nursing strategy. Methods 58 diabetic cases underwent lower limbs 99mTc-MAA veins imaging and/or ultrasunography. The related laboratory data such as fasting plasma glucose(FPG),blood cholesterol, blood triglycerides and clinic informations such as age, disease courses, lower limbs symptoms (swelling, erooted veins and diabetic foot) and acute complication (diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar non ketotic diabetic coma) were collected simultaneously. The relationship of each factors with DVT incidence were analyzed. Results 28 patients (48.3%) complicated with lower limbs DVT. The DVT incidence was signifi-cantly different among patients with different age, disease courses, FPG, blood cholesterol, blood triglycerides, lower limbs symptoms and acute complication, respectively. No significant difference was seen in patients with different blood pressure, body weight index, diabetes type. Conclusions Various dangerous factors accumu-lating in DM such as old age, long disease courses, high FPG, high blood cholesterol and high blood triglyc-erides contribute to the high incidence of lower limbs DVT. Early intervention, comprehensive treatment and in-tensive nursing should be applied to reduce the incidence of DVT.
