Abstract:Objective To study the effect of ultra-early finger exercise on the prevention of finger swelling in patients undergoing hemostasis by elastic bandage compression after transradial coronary intervention (TRI).Methods A total of 207 patients receiving TRI from December 2019 to June 2020 at Nanjing Jianbei Hospital were randomly divided into control group, intervention group A and intervention group B (n=69, each). The traditional nursing was conducted in control group. Finger exercises began 30 minutes after operation in intervention group A and were performed immediately after the patients returned to the ward in intervention group B. The degree of finger swelling was observed and compared 6 hours after operation among three groups. Results There was significantly difference in the degree of finger swelling among three groups（P＜0.01）. In controlling the swelling degree, the effect in intervention group B was best, followed by intervention group A and control group. There was no significanct difference in postoperative bleeding among three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Immediate finger exercise after returning to the ward can reduce postoperative finger swelling, and improve the comfort of patients without increasing the risk of postoperative local bleeding.
