Observation of the Therapeutic Effect of Regular Bloodletting Therapy on Hemochromatosis and Nursing Practice in Liver Disease Outpatient Department

Objective: This study aims to outline the essential nursing practices for managing hemochromatosis patients undergoing phlebotomy therapy in a liver disease outpatient clinic. Methods: We conducted a total of 168 phlebotomy sessions on 14 hemochromatosis patients at our hospital’s liver disease outpatient clinic. The approach involved comprehensive assessment and preparation prior to phlebotomy, vigilant monitoring during the procedure, and appropriate post-procedure management and health education. Results: Of the 168 phlebotomy sessions, one instance of syncope occurred due to bleeding when the patien’s meal time exceeded two hours, and one session was prematurely concluded due to needle blockage. Post-treatment, all 14 patients exhibited good overall health, effective disease control, and stable emotional states, and were able to engage and persist with the treatment regimen actively. Conclusion: Regular phlebotomy therapy in an outpatient setting for hemochromatosis patients, characterized by a convenient healthcare model and low-cost treatment, coupled with thorough and comprehensive nursing care, can significantly enhance patient compliance and engagement, facilitate the establishment of a regular and orderly treatment cycle, and improve overall treatment outcomes.
