Effects of rapid rehabilitation nursing on common carotid artery elasticity in patients undergoing transvaginal endoscopic hysterectomy

This was an original article designed to explore the effects of velocity vector imaging (VVI) on common carotid artery elasticity in patients undergoing transvaginal natural cavity endoscopic hysterectomy during perioperative rapid rehabilitation nursing. Eighty patients undergoing transvaginal natural cavity endoscopic hysterectomy in Affiliated Beihua University Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and divided into a control group (CG) and an intervention group (IG). The CG adopted perioperative routine nursing, while the IG adopted perioperative rapid rehabilitation nursing. Relative to the CG, the IG presented higher serum level of estradiol, higher change rate of transverse carotid artery area, higher mean systolic velocity peak time (VTTP) and mean systolic maximum strain (Smax) in the six wall segments. We conclude that rapid rehabilitation nursing in patients with transvaginal natural cavity endoscopic hysterectomy, can improve the common carotid artery elasticity and promote the rehabilitation of the patients. Velocity vector imaging technology can reflect the coordination of the overall movement of the tube wall, which is of great clinical value to prevent and delay the development of cardiovascular complications in patients.
