耳穴贴压联合舒适护理缓解扁桃体切除术后疼痛的效果观察

Observation on the effect of auricular point pressing therapy combined with comfortable care in relieving pain after tonsillectomy

目的探讨耳穴贴压联合舒适护理缓解扁桃体切除术后患者疼痛的效果。方法局部麻醉下行扁桃体切除手术的60例慢性扁桃体炎患者分为对照组和观察组,各30例。对照组患者术后给予舒适护理,观察组在对照组基础上实施耳穴贴压干预术后疼痛。采用疼痛视觉模拟评分(VAS)评估2组患者术后的疼痛程度,调查患者对护理服务的满意度。结果观察组患者术后24、48、72局部疼痛VAS评分较对照组低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组对护理服务的满意度高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论耳穴贴压联合舒适护理可有效缓解扁桃体切除术后疼痛程度。

Objective To explore the effect of auricular point pressing therapy combined with comfortable care on relieving pain after tonsillectomy. Methods Totally 60 patients with chronic tonsillitis who underwent tonsillectomy under local anesthesia were divided into control group and observation group, with 30 cases in each group. The patients in control group were given comfortable care after operation, while those in observation group were given comfortable care combined with auricular point pressing therapy. The Visual Analogue Scale score(VAS) for pain was used to evaluate the degree of postoperative pain in the two groups. The satisfaction of patients with postoperative nursing was investigated in the two groups. Results The VAS score for local pain in the observation group was lower than that at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after operation, with a significant different(P<0.05). Patients in the observation group were more satisfied with postoperative nursing than those of the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The auricular point pressing therapy combined with comfortable care can effectively relieve postoperative pain of patients undergoing tonsillectomy.
