The design and application of double ring fixation in fixing the multifunctional abdominal drainage tube / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:The aim of this study was to improve the method of pipe fixation and reduce pipes-related adverse events.Methods:A 3M cotton fabric skin color pressure sensitive tape was chosen and cut to the double ring shape. A total of 95 patients used the Weilang ? split multifunctional abdominal drainage tube after abdominal surgery in the surgical ward of the second affiliated hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College from July 2018 to December 2018 were recruited and then randomly divided into the observation group (48 cases) and the control group (47 cases). The observation group was fixed by double ring fixation and the control group was fixed by traditional method. The cutting time, fixing time, changing time, the adverse events related to the fixation and the pain score of the patients were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of adverse events in the observation group was lower than that in the control group. The time of cutting fixed patches was (6.27 ± 1.07)s in the observation group and (11.04 ± 0.91)s in the control group, which had a significant difference ( t value was -23.457, P < 0.05). The number of fixed patches used per capita was 1.10 ± 0.31 in the observation group and 2.32 ± 0.47 in the control group, which had a significant difference ( t value was -14.896, P < 0.05). In addition, the number of cases whose pain score of pipeline pulling was greater than 4 was 0 in observation group. By contrast the number was 7 in the control group, which had a significant difference ( χ2 value was 5.690, P = 0.017). Conclusions:The use of double ring fixation in fixing the Weilang ? split multifunctional abdominal drainage tube was safe and worthy of being expanded.
