Application of self-made ice-bag to postoperative patients receiving knee arthroscopy

Objective To explore a more effective cryotherapy for relieving patients′ pain after knee arthroscopy.Methods A total of 296 patients undergoing knee arthroscopy were randomly divided into a control group(n=144) and an observation group(n=152).Patients in the control group were given ice bags wrapped with towel for cryotherapy,while their counterparts in the observation group employed self-made ice bags for cryotherapy.All patients received 2 hours cryotherapy on the postoperative day,and on the second to fifth postoperative day the cryotherapy was performed for 2 hours each time,twice a day.Results Significant differences were found in degree of comfort on the third postoperative day,in degree of pain at the postoperative 6th,24th,48th hour,and in swelling and drainage volume at the postoperative 24th and 48th hour between the two groups(P<0.01 for all).Conclusion The self-made ice bag for cryotherapy is safe and comfortable,and beneficial to pain relief,antioncotic and effusion reduction.It can be used in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
