【摘要】 目的 评价抚触对硬膜外麻醉穿刺疼痛的影响及效果。 方法 2009年1-12月，将485例行硬膜外麻醉穿刺患者随机分为抚触组（术中行抚触干预）和对照组（常规护理），观察两组患者的穿刺程度、穿刺时间。 结果 抚触组患者疼痛程度、穿刺时间较对照组有明显改善，且差异有统计学意义（Plt;0.01）。 结论 抚触可降低应激引起的硬膜外麻醉穿刺患者的疼痛程度，保持穿刺体位从而缩短穿刺时间，有利于麻醉操作顺利进行。【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the effect of touching on alleviating the pain in patients undergoing epidural anesthesia puncture. Methods A total of 485 patients who underwent epidural puncture from January to December 2009 were randomly divided into two groups: 259 in touching group and 226 in control group. In the touching group, the patients were touched and consoled while undergoing epidural puncture. The pain extent and time of puncture were observed and recorded. Results The level of pain and time of puncture were obviously alleviated and shortened in the touching group and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. Conclusion Touching could reduce the stress and pain caused by epidural puncture, which may lead to maintain the puncture position and thereby shorten the puncture time. It helps to finish the narcotic operation favorably.
