This theoretical study aims to discuss the role of nurses in the mechanical prevention of venous thromboembolism in surgical patients.
The study considered the updated versions of the main international guidelines and reviews on the topic. Non-pharmacological measures to prevent venous thromboembolism in surgical patients and the role of nurses are discussed.
It is important that surgical nurses include in their activities risk of assessments for venous thromboembolism and non-pharmacological prophylactic measures, based on scientific evidence and well-designed institutional protocols.
Among the mechanical measures, the use of graduated compression stockings and intermittent pneumatic compression should be ensured by nurses.
本理论研究旨在探讨护士在外科手术患者机械性预防静脉血栓栓塞中的作用。
本研究考虑了最新版本的主要国际指南和相关综述。讨论了外科手术患者预防静脉血栓栓塞的非药物措施以及护士的作用。
重要的是，外科护士应根据科学证据和精心设计的机构方案，将静脉血栓栓塞风险评估和非药物预防措施纳入其活动中。
在机械措施中，应确保护士使用分级加压弹力袜和间歇性气动压迫装置。
