Abstract:
Percutaneous bone piercing needles are used in orthopedics, which play the role of needle fixation. Needle tract infection is a common complication during the use of percutaneous bone needles. How to prevent needle tract infection is an important topic, so it is necessary to explore better needle tract care methods during percutaneous bone needle indwelling, to provide a basis for clinical work. Based on this, the purpose of this article is to study the effects of needle tract nursing methods for patients with indwelling percutaneous bone puncture needle infections. In this article, through an overview of percutaneous bone needle tract infection, on this basis, a detailed analysis of its occurrence, causes, and main influencing factors are carried out. Experimental studies have shown that the incidence of needle tract infections is 23.64%, mainly mild needle tract infections. Mild needle tract infections account for 84.62% of all needle tract infections, of which grade 1 needle tract infections account for 50.00 of mild needle tract infections. Severe needle tract infections accounted for 15.38% of all needle tract infections. All severe needle tract infections were grade 4 needle tract infections. No patients had bone infections or osteomyelitis.
