Description

Objective: To explore the effect of radiological imaging and continuous care in patients with double-J ureteral calculi (URL) after indwelling double-J tube. Methods: Ureteral calculus is a common clinical stone disease, often cause obvious abdominal pain, and can radiate to the groin and medial thigh. After operation for ureteral calculi, some patients will be discharged with double J tube. 68 patients with double J tubes of ureteral calculi treated in our hospital were selected as research objects, and were divided into control group and observation group by lottery. The control group received routine nursing intervention, and the observation group received continuous nursing based on routine nursing intervention. The incidence of circuit-related complications, self-care ability, and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results: The patients in the observation group had significantly lower occurrences of pipeline shedding, hematuria, and bladder irritation than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The self-care ability scores of the observation group at discharge were higher than those of the control group at admission, the comparison was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The quality-of-life scores of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05) in terms of mental health, physical function, and general health. Conclusion: Most of the positive ureteral stones can be diagnosed by X-ray plain film. CT was superior to conventional X-ray and ultrasound in showing clearly the anatomy of genitourinary system and other abdomen. After the operation of ureteral calculi, the continuous nursing to the patients who were discharged with double J tube after the operation can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and improve their quality of life
