Abstract:Objective To investigate the values of bipolar electrocoagulation hemostasis combined with scalpel cutting in preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular risk events of perioperative period in patients with breast cancer. Methods A total of 182 patients who received breast cancer radical mastectomy in the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from September 2011 to January 2017 were selected as research objects. According to the different methods of hemostasis during the operation, the patients were divided into observation group (n=100) and control group (n=82). Scalpel cutting cooperated with bipolar electrocoagulation hemostasis was used in observation group. Scalpe for cutting skin and electric knife for cutting and hemostasis were used in control group. The prognosis of patients in two groups was observed, and the cardiovascular risk events in two groups were recorded. Results There were no significant differences in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between two groups (all P>0.05). The postoperative time to extubation in observation group was significantly earlier compared with control group (P<0.05). The incidences of subcutaneous hydrops (3.0% vs 11.0%, P<0.05)during perioperative period in observation group were significantly less than that in control group. The incidence of cardiovascular risk events of perioperative period was significantly less than that in control group (2.0% vs 12.2%, P<0.01). The scores of role, body, cognition, emotion, society items for quality of life score at 1 month after operation in observation group were significantly less than those in control group (all P<0.01). Conclusion Bipolar electrocoagulation hemostasis combined with scalpel cutting can effectively prevent the occurrence of perioperative cardiovascular risk events, decrease the occurrence of subcutaneous effusion, lymphedema and promote the postoperative extubation time early, so as to improve the overall life quality of the patients.
