Development of an exhaust device of pneumothorax of emergency internal medicine and the research about its clinical application effect / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe and analyze the clinical effect, satisfaction and life quality of an exhaust device that was applied in patients with pneumothorax in emergency internal medicine. Methods: The clinical data of 90 patients with pneumothorax were analyzed, and all of them were divided into observation group (45 cases) and control group (45 cases) according to the different clinical treatment plan. The patients of observation group received pneumothorax treatment by using exhaust device and that of control group received pneumothorax treatment by using conventional exhaust device. The clinical effect, satisfaction degree and situation of life quality post-treatment between the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results: The total effective rate and satisfaction of observation group (97.78% and 97.78%) were significantly higher than that of control group (80.00% and 77.78%) (x2=7.200, x2=8.389, P<0.05). And the result of follow-up of half a year showed that the difference of total score of life quality between observation group (83.50±14.48) and control group (65.34±13.15) was significant (t=6.228, P<0.05). Conclusion: In the treatment of patients with pneumothorax in emergency internal medicine, the application of an exhaust device of pneumothorax can make the gas was wholly absorbed, and significantly enhance the satisfaction and life quality of patients.
