Objective:To investigate the application effect of Fennel hot compress in pa-tients undergoing conservative treatment for intestinal obstruction.Methods:A non-randomized,non-concurrent controlled study was conducted involv-ing 79 patients with intestinal obstruction receiving conservative treatment.Convenience sampling was used to divide them into a control group(n=41)and an observation group(n=38).The control group received routine symp-tomatic supportive treatment and nursing care.The observation group received additional Fennel hot compress applied to the abdomen.Results:The obser-vation group showed a higher treatment effective rate than the control group.The time to anal exhaust,time to defecation,and time to disappearance of abdominal pain and distension were significantly shortened in the observation group.Hospital stay length and costs were reduced.Patient satisfaction total score,and scores in the dimensions of technical service quality,service econ-omy,and timeliness were superior in the observation group compared to the control group.All differences were statistically significant.Discussion:Fennel hot compress is simple,safe,and effective.It can accelerate the recovery of gas-trointestinal function,alleviate suffering,reduce hospitalization costs,and en-hance nursing satisfaction in patients undergoing conservative treatment for in-testinal obstruction,demonstrating significant clinical value for widespread adoption.
