ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of bandage rollers compression on pocket hemostasis in patients after implantation of permanent pacemaker.Methods A total of 591 patients after implantation of permanent pacemaker were enrolled in this study and divided into trial group and control group.The wounds of 296 patients in trial group received compression by two bandage rollers,which were placed parallelly on the wound side by side,above the pocket of pacemaker,fixed by 3M adhesive tapes so that no bleeding of wound and no shifting of rollers.6 hours after the operation,the tapes and bandage rollers were released.The wounds of 295 patients in control group received compression by 1 000 g sand bag which were taken off 6 hours after the operation.The safety and effects of hemostasis in patients between the two groups were compared.Results The incidences of incision bleeding,pocket hematoma and pocket skin pressure injury were not significantly different between the two groups(P>0.05).The incidences of postoperative pain,urinary retention and insomnia were significantly different between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion The incidences of postoperative pain,urinary retention and insomnia are significantly reduced in patients who received bandage roller compression.
