  • The nursing cooperation in ultrasonography-guided core-needle biopsy of thyroid nodules

    Objective To discuss the nursing measures for thyroid nodule patients who undergo core-needle biopsy (CNB) guided by ultrasound. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the experiences and main points of nursing for 1 900 thyroid nodule patients who underwent CNB guided by ultrasound between June 2010 and May 2014. Results All the 1 900 patients underwent CNB successfully. The nursing time was between 5 and 15 minutes, averaging (8.0±3.7) minutes. Complications included hematoma in 25 patients (1.3%) and needle syncope reaction in 30 patients (1.6%), which were cured through symptomatic treatment. No complications such as nerve injury, anesthesia accident or death occurred. No medical disputes happened due to specimen errors or loss. The success rate of specimen collection was 98.4% (1 870/1 900), and the diagnostic accuracy was 95.3% (1 812/1 900). Conclusions Ultrasonography-guided CNB is a safe and reliable operation with a high success rate, high diagnosis accuracy and few complications. Being familiar with the process of nursing cooperation and correct disposal and transfer of biopsy specimens are crucial for successful CNB in patients with thyroid nodules.
