Objective To investigate the clinical effect of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) combined with cardiac rehabilitation (CR) training in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods A total of 164 patients with CHF who were hospitalized and underwent CR training in Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Tongzhou People’s Hospital, from June 2020 to June 2021 were enrolled as subjects, and they were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, with 82 patients in each group. The patients in the control group received conventional CR training, and those in the experimental group received EECP in addition to the treatment in the control group. Results After treatment, both groups had a significant increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and a significant reduction in stroke volume (SV) (all P<0.05), and the experimental group had a significantly higher LVEF and a significantly lower SV compared with the control group (both P <0.05). After treatment, both groups had a significant increase in forced vital capacity and a significant reduction in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (all P <0.05), and there were no significant differences in these indicators between the two groups after treatment (both P >0.05). After treatment, both groups had significant increases in peak oxygen uptake (PeakVO₂) and anaerobic threshold (AT) (all P <0.05), and the experimental group had significantly higher PeakVO₂ and AT than the control group (both P <0.05). Conclusion EECP combined with CR training has a better clinical effect than CR training alone in improving the cardiac function and exercise tolerance of patients with CHF.

Objective To investigate the interventional effect of ankle pump exercise nursing combined with air pressure therapy apparatus in postoperative nursing regimen for puerperae with pregnancy-induced hypertension after cesarean section. Methods A total of 80 patients who underwent lower uterine segment cesarean section in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in our hospital from January to December 2023 were enrolled as subjects, and they were randomly divided into control group (40 patients who received routine nursing with air pressure therapy apparatus) and observation group (40 patients who received ankle pump exercise nursing combined with air pressure therapy apparatus). The two groups were compared in terms of the levels of coagulation factors, the incidence rate of lower limb vein thrombosis, lower limb circumference, the degree of edema, and prognosis. Results There were no significant differences in the levels of coagulation factors between the two groups before nursing (P >0.05). Compared with the control group after nursing, the observation group had significantly better levels of coagulation factors, a significantly lower incidence rate of lower limb vein thrombosis, a significantly smaller lower limb circumference, a significantly lower degree of edema, and a significantly better prognosis (P <0.05). Conclusion For puerperae with pregnancy-induced hypertension after cesarean section, ankle pump exercise nursing combined with air pressure therapy apparatus in postoperative nursing regimen can reduce the levels of coagulation factors, promote the improvement in lower limb edema, and reduce the risk of lower limb vein thrombosis, thereby helping puerperae to achieve stable rehabilitation and a good prognosis after surgery.
