Objective To explore the effect of preventive nursing measures on the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with lower limb fractures. Methods The research data were all patients with lower limb fractures and surgery admitted to our department from July 2020 to February 2021, a total of 50 cases. All of them implemented deep vein thrombosis prevention nursing measures, observed the occurrence of DVT before and after surgery, the length of hospital stay after surgery, and evaluated the satisfaction with nursing services. Results Among the 50 patients, only one case had deep vein thrombosis, with an incidence as low as 2.0%. All patients were hospitalized for (13.67±1.52) days after surgery, and the satisfaction was as high as 98%. After two weeks of nursing, the swelling of the affected limb was significantly reduced, which was better than five days after surgery (P<0.05). (P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of targeted DVT prevention nursing measures for patients with lower limb fractures in addition to routine orthopedic care has a significant preventive effect, effectively reduces the occurrence of DVT, and promotes the recovery of patients after surgery as soon as possible. The nursing service satisfaction is high and the nursing value is high.
