Objective: To explore the effect of continuous nursing on the rehabilitation of elderly patients with coronary artery disease who had undergone non-stop coronary artery bypass grafting; to discuss the feasibility and effectiveness of health education and postoper- ative guidance after coronary artery bypass grafting for patients through continuous nursing and routine nursing and comparing the results; to know the feasibility of different nursing methods in clinical practice.

Method: 72 elderly patients with coronary artery disease who underwent non-stop coronary artery bypass grafting were selected and divided into control group and intervention group by random number table method, and each group had 36 cases. The control group received routine outpatient visits, while the intervention group adopted continuous nursing. Two groups of elderly patients with coronary heart disease were observed and compared for a year, to understand the rehabilitation of two groups of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery, and to explore and analyze the effect of continuous nursing intervention on the rehabilitation of elderly coronary heart disease patients after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Results: 1. by comparing and analyzing the scores of social functional defects screening scale (SDSS) after intervention in two groups, the total score of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group; 2. through the comparison and analysis of the scores of Chinese cardiovascular patients’ quality questionnaire (CCQQ) before and after the intervention of two groups of patients, it was found that the quality of life of the patients in the intervention group was improved; 3. by comparing the complica- tions of two groups of patients, it was found that the intervention group was significantly lower than the control group.

Conclusion: the continuous nursing mode can improve the cognitive ability of the patients after the operation, improve the qual- ity of life of the elderly patients after operation, and can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. It is feasible to take continuous nursing in clinical practice.
