Objective To discuss and study the value of bundle nursing in femoral vein catheterization for prevention of lower extremity venous thrombosis in thoracic surgery patients. Methods A total of 100 patients with femoral vein catheterization in the department from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 were included in the study, and the remaining 90 patients with esophageal surgery were excluded. Now, the patients with thoracic catheterization in 2021 were divided into the control group (50 cases received routine basic nursing) and the observation group (40 cases received intensive care). The thrombosis rate of patients in the two groups and the satisfaction with nursing work of patients in the two groups were compared. Results There was no thrombus in the observation group as a whole, which was 8% lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), with statistical difference. The overall patient satisfaction with nursing work in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), with statistical difference. Conclusion Cluster nursing can play a better preventive role in the prevention of lower extremity venous thrombosis in patients with femoral vein catheterization, control the thrombosis rate in a reasonable range, and provide patients with more satisfactory nursing services.
