Core Tip

Core Tip: The effects of a magnesium sulfate wet compress, iodophor wet compress, and an ice compress for reducing postoperative perineal swelling in children with developmental hip dislocation were determined in order to provide effective nursing interventions in the clinic. We selected 120 children with hip dislocation, randomly divided them into four groups and collected data for analysis. All three methods reduced the duration of postoperative perineal swelling, reduced pain, and improved the quality of care.
