en Analysis of the effect of centrifugal massage on reducing the incidence of compartment syndrome caused by contrast agent extravasation and reducing tension in patients undergoing enhanced CT examination Radiation Biology Radiation Biology تحقيق بديع Original Research <div style="text-align: justify;">Background: The Background: To explore the influence of centrifugal massage on reducing the incidence of compartment syndrome after contrast extravasation (CM) and reducing the tension. Materials and Methods: A total of 62 patients with iodine contrast agent extravasation who underwent CT angiography in our hospital from March 2020 to March 2022 were chosen and separated into observation group (OG, n=31) and control group (CG, n=31) following the nursing plan. Patients in the CG adopted external application of drugs, and patients in the OG received centrifugal massage. The occurrence and duration of swelling, the incidence of compartment syndrome after contrast extravasation, nursing satisfaction, patients’ symptoms, and psychological status were compared between both groups. Results: The swelling degree and duration and incidence of compartment syndrome after contrast extravasation in the OG were declined relative to the CG (P<0.05). After 24 and 48 hours of intervention, patients in the OG had elevated self-rating scales compared to the CG (P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction of patients in the OG was elevated compared to the CG (P<0.05). After intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of the OG was decreased compared to the CG (P<0.05). The effective rate of treatment in the OG was elevated compared to the CG (P>0.05). Conclusion: Centrifugal massage for patients with CT enhanced scanning can prevent the incidence of CM after contrast extravasation, reduce the damage of contrast agent to tissues, and improve nursing satisfaction.</div> Compartment syndrome, massage, computed tomography angiography, contrast agent. 319 324 http://ijrr.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-1045&slc_lang=en&sid=1 F.
