Objective To explore the prevention and nursing of deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with lower limb fracture. Methods a total of 20 elderly patients with lower limb fractures who were admitted to our hospital from May 2021 to February 2022 were selected as the study subjects, and received clinical treatment to prevent deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Through random grouping method, they were divided into routine group and experimental group, with 10 persons in each group. Routine nursing intervention was carried out in the routine group, and preventive nursing intervention was carried out in the experimental group. The incidence of deep vein thrombosis and adverse psychological scores (SAS self-assessment of anxiety and SDS self-assessment of depression) were compared between the two groups. Results compared with the conventional group, the incidence of DVT in the experimental group was lower (P < 0.05). Compared with the routine group, the SAS and SDS scores of the experimental group were lower (P < 0.05). Conclusion the development of prevention and nursing work is conducive to the prevention of deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with lower limb fracture, actively improve the quality of nursing service, shorten the recovery time of patients, and avoid negative psychology. It is recommended to popularize the application.
