Abstract

Objective    To study the effect of ultrasound in the diagnosis of the nutcracker syndrome, so as to optimize examination process.    Methods    Fifty-five NCS were collected as the observation group, forty-one healthy patients were included in the control group. These two groups were in the supine position, dorsal extension (divided into four groups: 0 min-5 min, 5 min-10 min, 10 min-15 min, and 15 min-20 min). In calm breathing, end of inhalation and end of breath, 2D ultrasound and spectral Doppler measuring angle (θ), inner diameter (D1), distal heart inner diameter (D2), peak flow velocity (PVN), distal heart peak flow velocity (PVD) and other parameters were recorded and they were performed a comparative analysis.   Results   In the observation group, the D2/D1 of dorsal extension of the spine for 15 min-20 min and when calm breathing was slightly greater than that of 5min-10min and 10min-15min (P<0.05). However, the diagnostic sensitivity differences among the three time periods are not significant, and there was no statistically significant difference in D2/D1 between the above four time periods. Inhalation during the test resulted in a decrease in angle θ and an increase in D2/D1, and exhale was the opposite.   Conclusions    In the course of examining patients with nutcracker syndrome, the length of back extension has little effect on the examination results, ultrasound in the process of examination in patients with nutcracker syndrome, inhale can lead to positive rate increase, breathing out can lead to positive rate decline, and the positive rate is in the middle when breathing calmly. Therefore, the back extension time can be shortened during the inspection process, then tell the patients not to inhale or exhale, try to calm breathing in the examination.
