ObjectiveTo discuss the key points of nursing care for enhanced abdominal CT examination. MethodsA retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 1 500 patients receiving abdominal enhanced CT scan between March 2013 and March 2014 was carried out. Then, we summarized the nursing experiences before, during and after scanning, and various complications and accidents occurring during the examination. ResultsAll the patients completed the examination safely. Ten patients had mild adverse reactions, and the symptoms relieved or disappeared after active treatment; no medium or severe adverse reactions occurred. Two patients had extravasation of contrast medium, and the allergic symptoms gradually improved after the dressing of 50% wet magnesium sulfate. Five patients had poor image quality, including 2 with contrast agent extravasation, and 3 with respiratory motion artifacts. ConclusionGood nursing work is an important guarantee for the success of abdominal enhanced CT examination.
