Abstract

To explore the effectiveness of integrated care in reducing contrast agent extravasation during CT enhancement examinations. A total of 7,247 patients undergoing CT enhancement examinations in our department between August 2022 and May 2023 were selected. The 3,615 patients treated between August 2022 and December 2022 served as the control group, while the 3,152 patients treated from January 2022 to May 2022 were the research group. The research group received integrated care, while the control group received conventional care. The incidence and severity of iodine contrast extravasation and patient satisfaction with nursing care in the two groups were compared. The incidence of iodine contrast extravasation in the research group (0.27%) was lower than in the control group (0.94%), and the nursing satisfaction rate in the research group (99%) was higher than in the control group (90%). The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The use of integrated care in CT enhancement examinations can effectively reduce the incidence of iodine contrast extravasation and improve patient satisfaction with nursing care.
