“…Chan proposed a multimodal postoperative nursing monitoring method and finally proved the important value of multimodal monitoring in neurocritical care patients. It helped to provide optimal treatment for patients based on individual pathophysiological changes [ 11 ]. Tzer discussed the importance of diet in postoperative care of patients after pancreatic surgery.…”

Surgery is one of the larger wounds in conventional surgery, and patients often experience different pain and postural discomfort after surgery. With the ever-changing standards of medical care and patient care requirements, providing high-quality care to postoperative patients is an important measure to reduce complications and promote rapid recovery. However, in the traditional postsurgical nursing methods, there are often the phenomenon that wrong patients are connected, patient data is messy, and medicines are counted incorrectly, which directly leads to a rapid decline in nursing efficiency. In the context of the rapid development of artificial intelligence and big data, intelligent medical data analysis technology has gradually been integrated into the medical field. This paper analyzes and studies the application effect of intelligent medical data analysis technology in postoperative nursing. It is aimed at changing the traditional postoperative nursing methods and improving nursing efficiency, and it provides important suggestions for the development of postoperative nursing in the new era. Combining big data and Internet of Things technology, this paper builds a smart medical Internet of Things framework and an intelligent postoperative care system and uses machine learning algorithms to preprocess relevant medical data. The final experimental results show that the intelligent medical data analysis technology has a good effect in improving the nursing efficiency after surgery, and the nursing efficiency has increased by 6.9%.

“… 39 After LVA, patients should be encouraged to ambulate, actively elevate the extremities to promote lymphatic drainage, and take antibiotics due to potential susceptibility for infection. 40 However, some studies have posited that patients may develop worsening of lymphedema if functional lymphatics are inadvertently Compromised to perform LVA and/or the LVA becomes thrombosed/occluded. 41 Despite these concerns, the published literature represents that LVA significantly improves quality of life in patients with upper and lower extremity lymphedema with decreased episodes of cellulitis and need for manual lymphatic drainage.…”

Background: May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is an anatomical variant that results in compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery. Although often asymptomatic, lower extremity swelling/edema, deep venous thrombosis, post-thrombotic syndrome, and eventual lymphedema (due to long-standing venous obstruction) can develop. The clinical management of patients presenting for lymphedema surgery with concomitant or undiagnosed MTS is not well described. Methods: This review investigates two patients who were evaluated for unilateral lower extremity lymphedema, both of whom were subsequently diagnosed with MTS. Standard imaging (including lymphoscintigraphy, indocyanine green lymphangiography, and magnetic resonance venography) were performed to identify proximal venous obstruction. Treatment was accomplished using vascular surgical management, including stenting of the iliac vein before lymphedema reconstruction with vascularized lymph node transfer and multiple lymphovenous bypass. Results: Both patients we examined in this review had improvement of lymphedema with vascular surgical management. Literature review reveals that MTS has an incidence as high as 20% in the population, although commonly unidentified due to lack of symptomatology. Conclusions: There are no studies documenting the incidence of MTS in patients referred for lymphedema surgical management. Routine studies should be obtained to screen for proximal venous obstruction in patients presenting for surgical management of lower extremity lymphedema. Additional research is needed regarding the approach to managing patients with both MTS and lymphedema. Careful observational and prospective studies may elucidate the appropriate time interval between venous stenting and lymphedema microsurgical reconstruction.
