A study about the handling methods of local tissue damage induced by venous fluorouradl exosmosis

Objective To explore the nursing efficacy of handling methods for local tissue damage in-duced by venous fluorouracil exosmosis. Methods 64 cancer patients who were used fluorouracil had 300 venous exosmosis cases,these were divided into two groups randomly with 150 cases in each group.In the exper-imental group, lidocaine plus dexamethasone acetate were used for wet compress for 12～24 hours continuously, then cold dressing for 12～24 hours discontinuously.In the control group, lidocaine plus dexamethasone acetate were used for local block,then cold dressing for 12～24 hours discontinuously. Results The time of local swelling reduction was shorter(P<0.01 ), the condition of subcutaneous hemorrhage was lighter(P<0.05),the recovery time of subcutaneous stasis of blood was shorter (P<0.01) in the experimental group than that in the control group. Conclusions It can reduce patients' pain and local swelling by using lidocaine plus dexam-ethasone acetate for continuouswet compress plus discontinuous cold dressing to treat venous fluorouracil exos-mosis.Patients were willing to accept it and it can avoid the pain and damage induced by local block.
