Objective To explore the application value of improved shoulder restraint belt in patients with temporary pacemaker. Methods 80 patients with temporary pacemaker implantation were randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to the order of admission time. The experimental group used the improved shoulder restraint belt, while the control group used the traditional shoulder restraint belt. The effects of electrode displacement, patient cooperation, patients comfort, nursing satisfaction and excellent rate of nurses evaluation after application were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of electrode shedding in the experimental group was 0%(0/40), which was significantly lower than that in the control group (10.00%(4/40), with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion The use of improved shoulder restraint belt has achieved remarkable results in promoting patients with temporary pacemakers, which can effectively prevent the incidence of electrode falling off of temporary pacemakers, and also improve patients cooperation, comfort and satisfaction, so that the evaluation rate of nurses after application is higher, which is worthy of clinical promotion and implementation.
