Objective  To explore the effect of nursing measures in the prevention of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis after cesarean section.

  Methods  A total of 200 cases with cesarean section treated in our hospital were selected as study objects. All parturients were divided into control group(n=100) and experimental group(n=100), given routine nursing during perinatal period, and preventive nursing, respectively. The effects of nursing intervention were compared between the two groups.

  Results  The coagulation indexes such as plasma prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and D-dimer in the experimental group were better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After 48 hours of nursing intervention, the marked efficiency rate and effective rate of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  Preventive nursing intervention for deep venous thrombosis in lower extremities can effectively reduce the incidence of deep venous thrombosis in lower extremities of cesarean section women.
