Observation of the effects of three methods for reducing perineal swelling in children with developmental hip dislocation

摘要

BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a developmental abnormality of the hip joint that results from hypoplasia during birth and continues to deteriorate after birth.AIM To observe the effects of magnesium sulfate wet compress,iodophor wet compress,and ice compress on reducing postoperative perineal swelling in children with developmental hip dislocation to provide effective nursing interventions in the clinic.METHODS A total of 120 children with hip dislocation after surgery in a third-class A hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were randomly divided into four groups,the magnesium sulfate wet compress group,iodophor wet compress group,ice compress group and the control group.Data such as height,weight,age,duration of surgery,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative body temperature,swelling duration,pain score,and incidence of blisters were collected and analyzed.RESULTS There were no significant differences in height,weight,age,duration of surgery,intraoperative blood loss,and postoperative body temperature among the four groups of children.Statistical differences were observed between the intervention groups and the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION All three methods significantly reduced postoperative perineal swelling in children with developmental hip dislocation,reduced the duration of postoperative perineal swelling,reduced pain,and improved the quality of care.
