Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection is currently recognized as an effective and safe surgical method,nowadays it is widely used in clinical practice . However ,Because of the endoscopic damage to the nasal mucosa during surgery and the old blood clots in the nasal cavity , after surgery the patient had nasal symptoms such as nasal congestion and nasal flow for a long time, which disturbed the patient's rest and sleep, affect their quality of life, some patients can develop to chronic sinus inflammation that is sphenoid sinusitis. Nasal irrigation is now widely used in the treatment of sinusitis and sphenoid sinusitis with good result. In this study, nasal irrigation was applied in the nursing process of patients after transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection, and we want to establish the nursing management process of nasal irrigation after transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection and use the visual analogue scale (VAS) to evaluate the nasal symptoms of patients after postoperative nasal irrigation. Use The Chinese version of the commonly used nasosinusitis scale (SNOT -20) to evaluate postoperative quality of life of patients from the four dimensions of rhino-related symptoms, vitality, social function and emotional function, and to evaluate the incidence of sphenoid sinusitis by combining imaging examination. It is expected to improve the comfort of postoperative nasal symptoms and postoperative quality of life, prevent and reduce the incidence of postoperative sphenoid sinusitis, and improve the satisfaction of patients.

- Use the visual analogue scale (VAS) to evaluate the nasal symptoms of patients after postoperative nasal irrigation. Evaluation of symptoms including nasal congestion, nasal secretions or posterior rhinorrhea, facial pain , nasal odor, nasal dryness, olfactory disturbance, dizziness or headache. Nasal VAS Scale Score nasal congestion nasal secretions or posterior rhinorrhea facial pain nasal odor nasal dryness olfactory disturbance dizziness or headache ecah Items were evaluated, with 0 indicating no symptoms and 10 indicating the most severe symptoms
