Objective To explore the effect of preoperative adaptive exercise on postoperative limb swelling, sleep status and quality of life in patients with PCI via radial artery. Methods From October 2015 to October 2016, 92 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent PCI were randomly divided into two groups.The patients in the control group received routine nursing, and the patients in the observation group received preoperative adaptive exercise through radial artery PCI.The differences in limb swelling, sleep status and quality of life (QOL score) were compared between the two groups. Results After the intervention, the QOL score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The SSRS scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group at 3 days and 5 days after operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). Limb swelling was significantly improved in the observation group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The self-care ability score of patients in the observation group after PCI was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusions The application of preconditioning exercise before PCI via radial artery surgery can improve the QOL score, self-care ability, sleep and limb swelling status of patients.It is worthy of clinical promotion.
