The Application Effect and Management Strategies of Photobiomodulatory Therapy in the Perioperative Nursing of Patients with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

To explore the application effect of professional perioperative nursing program in the adjuvant treatment of Photobiomodulation (PBM) in patients with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI).As a new adjuvant therapy, PBM has been proved to be safe and effective, but its special treatment mode (laser acting directly on the surface of the spinal cord and having skin outlet) poses challenges to perioperative care. A total of 34 patients with TSCI admitted to our hospital from October 2022 to October 2024 were included in this study. All patients received PBM irradiation treatment for 7 days after emergency decompression, and a systematic nursing intervention program was implemented, including multidisciplinary collaborative nursing, standardized management of optical fiber pipeline, and prevention of complications. The study showed that all 34 patients successfully completed PBM treatment, and during the nursing intervention, no common complications such as bladder and stool dysfunction, pressure injury, and deep vein thrombosis were observed, and no adverse events such as fiber pipe prolapse, treatment-related infection, or spinal cord nerve function aggravation occurred. By establishing a professional PBM nursing team and integrating evidence-based nursing measures, 34 patients in this study achieved zero complications and the completion rate of the whole treatment was 100%, which provides a practical paradigm for perioperative PBM nursing of TSCI patients.
