Abstract:
Objective To summarize the experience of continuous nursing intervention in elderly patients undergoing median incision bilateral inguinal hernia repair.
Methods The perioperative nursing process of 40 elderly patients undergoing bilateral hernia with tension-free hernioplasty in the anterior peritoneal space via median incision from January 2016 to October 2016 at Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University was retrospectively analyzed. The continuous nursing strategy during perioperative nursing process was summarized.
Results The vital signs of 40 patients were stable and the operations were successful. The operation time was 40-60 minutes, the bleeding loss was 20-50 ml, and all patients returned to the wards safely after operations. The patients recovered well after operations and were followed up for 12-24 months without recurrence.
Conclusion Continuous nursing care can provide constant nursing care and support for the elderly patients, enable them to receive the operation in a relaxed and calm state, and help them safely get through the operation period.
