In large-scale hospitals practicing traditional Chinese medicine, there is accumulating experience related to the promotion of fast recovery in the perioperative period.AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yikou-Sizi powder hot compress on Shenque acupuncture point combined with rapid rehabilitation technique.METHODS This prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled study included two groups: Treatment group and control group. The patients in the treatment group and control group received Yikou-Sizi powder hot compress on Shenque acupuncture point combined with rapid rehabilitation technique and routine treatment, respectively. Clinical observation regarding postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function was performed, including the times to first passage of flatus, first defecation, and first normal bowel sounds. The comparison between groups was conducted through descriptive analysis, χ~2, t, F, and rank-sum tests.RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference in the time to postoperative first defecation between the treatment and control group(87.16 ± 32.09 vs 109.79 ±40.25 h, respectively;P < 0.05). Similarly, the time to initial recovery of bowel sounds in the treatment group was significantly shorter than that in the control group(61.17 ± 26.75 vs 79.19 ± 33.35 h, respectively;P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the time to initial exhaust between the treatment and control groups(51.54 ± 23.66 vs 62.24 ± 25.95 h, respectively;P >0.05). The hospitalization expenses for the two groups of patients were 62283.45 ±12413.90 and 62059.42 ± 11350.51 yuan, respectively. Although the cost of hospitalization was decreased in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). This clinical trial was safe without reports of any adverse reaction or event.CONCLUSION The rapid rehabilitation technique with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine promotes the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function and is significantly better than standard approach for patients after colorectal surgery.展开更多

Methods: Ninety patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into three groups: control group, intervention group 1 and intervention group 2. All three groups received routine perioperative nursing. Intervention group 1 and group 2 were given acupoint application of Chinese medicine at 0.5 h and 6 h after operation, and the waveform was monitored by electrogastrogram on the 1st day before operation and 3 d after operation. The first anal exhaust time, defecation time, abdominal distension and electrogastrogram changes were analyzed and compared in the three groups. Results: Compared with the first exhaust time and defecation time after operation, the intervention group 1 was earlier than the intervention group 2, and the intervention group 2 was earlier than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

In the modern society where peoples living standard is gradually improved, the change of diet structure makes peoples intestinal peristalsis also change accordingly. Because the food is too fine, the intestinal peristalsis is slow because of a long time without exercise, and the food residue is difficult to push to the rectum, so it is easy to lead to constipation. This paper will analyze the effect of gastrointestinal dynamic therapy in promoting the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal surgery, compare the change of curative effect of different patients and a certain number of data, and then conclude that gastrointestinal dynamic therapy can promote the early recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients, and improve the curative effect.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal(GI)dysfunction is common after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer and affects rehabilitation.While conventional treatments can alleviate symptoms to a certain extent,they often fail to fully address the issue of insufficient GI motility.The GI motility therapeutic apparatus promotes dynamic recovery by simulating GI electric waves,whereas acupuncture regulates zang-fu qi movement,both offering effective interventions.However,there are few clinical studies investigating the combined use of GI motility therapy and acupuncture to promote GI function recovery in patients after GI laparoscopic radical surgery.AIM To evaluate the effects of combining GI motility therapy devices with acupuncture on GI function in patients undergoing radical laparoscopic surgery.METHODS This retrospective study included 196 patients who underwent radical GI endoscopic surgery at the Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital(Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center),School of Medicine,Tongji University,from June 2022 to May 2024.Patients were classified into a normal group(conventional treatment,n=96)and an integrated group(conventional+GI motility therapy device+acupuncture,n=100).The effects on GI function,hormone levels preand post-treatment,GI symptoms,immune function,adverse reactions,and patient satisfaction in both groups were assessed.RESULTS Compared with the normal group,the integrated group demonstrated significantly better overall effectiveness(93.00%vs 84.3%;P<0.05)and shorter durations for first exhaust,feeding,defecation,and hospital stay(P<0.05).Post-treatment,the integrated group had lower gastrin and GI symptom rating scale scores and higher motilin,vasoactive intestinal peptide,and immune marker(CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+,and natural killer cells)levels(P<0.05).The integrated group,compared to the normal group,also reported fewer adverse reactions(5.00%vs 14.58%)and higher patient satisfaction(97.00%vs 84.38%),both statistically significant(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The combination of a GI motility therapy device and acupuncture promotes GI function recovery after radical gastrectomy,regulates GI hormones and immune function,and is safe and effective.
文摘BACKGROUND Congenital intestinal atresia(CIA)is a common intestinal malformation in the neonatal period,and surgery is currently the main treatment method.The choice of postoperative feeding is crucial for the recovery of gastrointestinal function in children.AIM To compare and analyze the effects of different postoperative feeding methods on gastrointestinal function reconstruction in newborns with CIA.METHODS Twenty-six children diagnosed with neonatal CIA,treated with minimally invasive surgery at Shijiazhuang Maternal and Child Health Hospital between January 2021 and May 2024,were selected for this single-center prospective randomized controlled study.They were divided into two groups using envelope randomization:Enteral nutrition(EN)group(n=13)and parenteral nutrition(PN)group(n=13).Baseline and clinical characteristics were collected,and recovery time of bowel sounds and time to first defecation were used as evaluation indices for gastrointestinal functional reconstruction.Differences between the groups were analyzed using t-test,χ2 test,and Fisher’s exact test.Spearman’s correlation tests and linear regression models were employed to analyze factors influencing time to first defecation.RESULTS The time to bowel sound recovery(51.54 vs 65.85,P=0.013)and first defecation(58.15 vs 76.62,P<0.001)was shorter in the EN group compared to the PN group.Clinical improvements in the EN group,including discharge weight(P=0.044),hospital stay(P=0.027),white blood cell count(P=0.023),albumin content(P=0.013),and direct bilirubin content(P=0.018),were also better than those in the PN group.No substantial differences in postoperative complications were found between the groups.Correlation analysis indicated that abdominal infection and operation time may relate to time to first defecation.Linear regression analysis demonstrated a considerable association between EN feeding and shorter time to first defecation.Abdominal infection and an operation time>2 hours may be risk factors for prolonged time to first defecation.CONCLUSION EN substantially promotes the recovery of gastrointestinal function after CIA in neonates and can improve clinical outcomes in children.Future research should explore optimal EN practices to enhance clinical application and child health.
文摘BACKGROUND Appendicitis is a common acute abdominal pain disorder.Laparoscopic appendectomy,a commonly used modality,is associated with less trauma and faster recovery than traditional open appendectomy.However,postoperative recovery remains an important issue that affects rehabilitation quality and surgical results.AIM To explore the effects of rapid rehabilitation and surgical nursing care on gastrointestinal function recovery and sleep quality among patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy.METHODS A total of 120 patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy at our hospital between January 2019 and March 2024 and for whom complete clinical data were available were selected.Patients were randomly assigned to two groups(n=60 each)using the random number table method.The control group received routine nursing care,while the experimental group received rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing care;all patients continued to receive nursing care until discharge.The recovery of gastrointestinal function,length of hospital stay,complications,Pittsburgh sleep quality index,and nursing satisfaction were compared between groups.RESULTS Following the implementation of effective nursing measures,the times to bowel sound recovery,first exhaust,first defecation,and first feeding were notably shorter in the study vs control group(P<0.05).Additionally,the duration of the first postoperative activity and the length of hospital stay were significantly shorter in the study vs control group(P<0.05).Furthermore,the study group exhibited better sleep quality than the control group(P<0.05).The postoperative complication rate was significantly lower and the nursing satisfaction rate significantly higher in the study vs control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing interventions provided to patients after laparoscopic appendectomy can accelerate their postoperative recovery,reduce the occurrence of complications,and improve their sleep quality and nursing satisfaction.
文摘Objective: To explore the application effect of nursing interventions based on APACHE II scores in patients with severe pancreatitis and its impact on the recovery time of the gastrointestinal function. Methods: A total of 86 patients with severe pancreatitis treated in our hospital from March 2023 to March 2024 were selected. Using a random number table method, the patients were divided into a control group receiving conventional nursing care and a study group receiving nursing interventions based on APACHE II scores, with 43 patients in each group. The intervention effects of the two groups were compared. Results: The recovery time of gastrointestinal function in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After the intervention, the quality of life scores in the study group was significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group was significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Nursing interventions based on APACHE II scores can shorten gastrointestinal recovery time and reduce complications in patients with severe pancreatitis, contributing to improved quality of life.
文摘BACKGROUND The effects of electrical stimulation on gastrointestinal function recovery after gynecological abdominal surgery was not clear.AIM To systematically evaluate the effects of electrical stimulation on gastrointestinal function recovery after gynecological abdominal surgery.METHODS The Cochrane Library,Web of Science,PubMed,ProQuest,and the Chinese bio-medical literature databases Wanfang,Weipu,and CNKI were used to search for relevant studies on controlled trials of electrical stimulation in gynecological abdominal surgery patients from self-established databases to May 2024.The RevMan software(version 5.3)was used to analyze the included literature and explore the heterogeneity of each study.RESULTS Seven controlled trials,involving 520 patients,were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that electrical stimulation could shorten the recovery time of intestinal sound after gynecological abdominal surgery[odds ratio(OR):-5.11,95%CI:-5.84 to-4.38,P<0.00001]and improve the time of first anal exhaust(OR:-1.19,95%CI:-1.38 to-0.99,P<0.00001),improved the time of first anal defecation(OR:-0.98,95%CI:-1.19 to-0.78,P<0.00001),The difference is significant.According to the funnel plot,if the scatter is symmetrical,it indicates that the funnel plot is unbiased.CONCLUSION Electrical stimulation can shorten this reduces the length of time it takes for the patient to recover from bowel sounds and also affects the time to first anal voiding and defecation to some extent,thereby promoting gas-trointestinal function recovery after gynecological abdominal surgery.The quality of the studies included in this review was poor,which may have affected the final results.It is necessary to conduct a randomized controlled study with higher quality and more samples to further confirm the promoting effect of electrical stimulation on gastrointestinal function recovery to guide clinical treatment.
文摘Objective:To explore the effect of Qi cross-shaped moxibustion on the recovery of gastrointestinal function in elderly hip fracture patients after surgery.Methods:62 elderly hip fracture surgery patients were selected as the base analysis sample,enrolled in January 2023-May 2024,and divided into an observation group(n=31)and a control group(n=31)using the digital table random draw scheme.The patients in the control group underwent conventional dietary intervention,and the patients in the observation group underwent Qi cross-shaped moxibustion intervention,comparing the gastrointestinal function recovery time and quality of life scores(PAC-QOL)of patients with constipation between the two groups.Results:The gastrointestinal function recovery time of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05);the PAC-QOL score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group after the intervention(P<0.05).Conclusion:Qi cross-shaped moxibustion can shorten the recovery time of gastrointestinal function and improve the quality of life of elderly hip fracture patients after surgery,and it has the value of promotion and application.
文摘BACKGROUND Intussusception occurs in children and progresses rapidly.If not treated in time,it may lead to secondary complications such as intestinal perforation,which affect the quality of life and health of children.Surgery is the most common clinical treatment and has a good effect.However,the postoperative prognosis of children with intussusception has a correlation with the postoperative rehabilitation method.Therefore,in this study,we explored the relationship between postopera-tive rehabilitation,gastrointestinal function,and the expression of inflammatory factors in children with intussusception.The medical records of 18 children who were admitted to our hospital for intussusception surgery between October 2022 and May 2024 were retrospectively reviewed.The patients were divided into the routine nursing group(n=6)and rehabilitation training group(n=12)according to the postoperative rehabilitation method.The general data,gastrointestinal function,and inflammatory factor levels of the two groups were statistically analyzed.Pearson correlation analysis of gastrointestinal function,inflammatory factors,and postoperative rehabil-itation was performed.RESULTS We found no significant intergroup differences in sex,age,or disease course(P>0.05).The times to first defecation,bowel sound recovery,and anal exhaust were shorter and inflammatory factor levels were lower in the rehabilitation training group than in the routine nursing group(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that gastrin and motilin levels were positively correlated with postoperative rehabilitation(P<0.05).Interleukin(IL)-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,and tumor necrosis factor-αlevels were negatively correlated with postoperative rehabilitation(P<0.05).Gastrointestinal function was positively correlated(P<0.05),and levels of inflammatory factors were negatively correlated with postoperative recovery time(P<0.05).CONCLUSION We found a positive correlation between gastrointestinal function and postoperative rehabilitation training,and a negative correlation between inflammatory factor levels and rehabilitation training in children with intussus-ception.
文摘BACKGROUND The liver is an important metabolic and digestive organ in the human body,ca-pable of producing bile,clotting factors,and vitamins.AIM To investigate the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients after hepato-biliary surgery and identify effective rehabilitation measures.METHODS A total of 200 patients who underwent hepatobiliary surgery in our hospital in 2022 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into a control group and a study group based on the extent of the surgery,with 100 patients in each group.The control group received routine treatment,while the study group re-ceived targeted interventions,including early enteral nutrition support,drinking water before gas discharge,and large bowel enema,to promote postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery.The recovery of gastrointestinal function was compared between the two groups.RESULTS Compared with the control group,patients in the study group had better recovery of bowel sounds and less accumulation of fluids in the liver bed and gallbladder fossa(P<0.05).They also had shorter time to gas discharge and first meal(P<0.05),higher overall effective rate of gastrointestinal function recovery(P<0.05),and lower incidence of postoperative complications(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Targeted nursing interventions(early nutritional support,drinking water before gas discharge,and enema)can effectively promote gastrointestinal function recovery in patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery and reduce the incidence of complications,which is worthy of promotion.

文摘BACKGROUND During the perioperative period, the characteristic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine is effective in improving postoperative rehabilitation. In large-scale hospitals practicing traditional Chinese medicine, there is accumulating experience related to the promotion of fast recovery in the perioperative period.AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yikou-Sizi powder hot compress on Shenque acupuncture point combined with rapid rehabilitation technique.METHODS This prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled study included two groups: Treatment group and control group. The patients in the treatment group and control group received Yikou-Sizi powder hot compress on Shenque acupuncture point combined with rapid rehabilitation technique and routine treatment, respectively. Clinical observation regarding postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function was performed, including the times to first passage of flatus, first defecation, and first normal bowel sounds. The comparison between groups was conducted through descriptive analysis, χ~2, t, F, and rank-sum tests.RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference in the time to postoperative first defecation between the treatment and control group(87.16 ± 32.09 vs 109.79 ±40.25 h, respectively;P < 0.05). Similarly, the time to initial recovery of bowel sounds in the treatment group was significantly shorter than that in the control group(61.17 ± 26.75 vs 79.19 ± 33.35 h, respectively;P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the time to initial exhaust between the treatment and control groups(51.54 ± 23.66 vs 62.24 ± 25.95 h, respectively;P >0.05). The hospitalization expenses for the two groups of patients were 62283.45 ±12413.90 and 62059.42 ± 11350.51 yuan, respectively. Although the cost of hospitalization was decreased in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). This clinical trial was safe without reports of any adverse reaction or event.CONCLUSION The rapid rehabilitation technique with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine promotes the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function and is significantly better than standard approach for patients after colorectal surgery.

文摘BACKGROUND Intestinal mucosal barrier injury and gastrointestinal dysfunction are important causes of sepsis.However,few studies have investigated the effects of enteral underfeeding on gastrointestinal function in sepsis.Moreover,no consensus on goal enteral caloric intake has been reached in sepsis.AIM To investigate the effects of different goal caloric requirements of enteral nutrition on the gastrointestinal function and outcomes in the acute phase of sepsis.METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to receive 30%(defined as group A),60%(group B),or 100%(group C)of goal caloric requirements of enteral nutrition in this prospective pilot clinical trial.The acute gastrointestinal injury(AGI)grades,incidence of feeding intolerance(FI),daily caloric intake,nutritional and inflammatory markers,and biomarkers of mucosal barrier function were collected during the first 7 d of enteral feeding.The clinical severity and outcome variables were also recorded.RESULTS A total of 54 septic patients were enrolled.The days to goal calorie of group C(2.55±0.82)were significantly longer than those of group A(3.50±1.51;P=0.046)or B(4.85±1.68;P<0.001).The FI incidence of group C(16.5%)was higher than that of group A(5.0%)or B(8.7%)(P=0.009).No difference in the incidence of FI symptoms was found between groups A and B.The serum levels of barrier function biomarkers of group B were significantly lower than those of group A(P<0.05)on the 7th day of feeding.The prealbumin and IL-6 levels of group A were lower than those of group B(P<0.05)on the 7th day of feeding.No significant differences in the clinical outcome variables or 28-d mortality were found among the three groups.CONCLUSION Early moderate enteral underfeeding(60%of goal requirements)could improve the intestinal barrier function and nutritional and inflammatory status without increasing the incidence of FI symptoms in sepsis.However,further large-scale prospective clinical trials and animal studies are required to test our findings.Moreover,the effects of different protein intake on gastrointestinal function and outcomes should also be investigated in future work.
文摘BACKGROUND In the perioperative period of biliary surgery,various factors can induce the release of a large number of inflammatory factors,leading to an imbalance in proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses and resulting in gastrointestinal(GI)dysfunction.Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols in biliary surgery have been shown to reduce the stress response and accelerate postoperative recovery.It is crucial to reduce the inflammatory response and promote the recovery of GI function after biliary surgery,both of which are the basis and key for perioperative care and postoperative recovery.AIM To better understand the effects of Modified Xiao-Cheng-Qi decoction(MXD)on inflammatory response and GI function in the perioperative management of cholelithiasis and their correlation.METHODS This was a prospective randomized placebo-controlled trial,in which 162 patients who received biliary tract surgery were randomly assigned to three groups:MXD group,XD group,and placebo-control group.The observed parameters included frequency of bowel sounds,time of first flatus and defecation,time of diet,and amount of activity after surgery.The serum levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin(IL)-6,IL-10,serum amyloid A protein(SAA),and substance P were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Then,the spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between the indicators of GI function and inflammation.RESULTS Compared to the placebo-control,improvements in GI function were observed in the MXD groups including reduced incidence of nausea,vomiting,and bloating;and earlier first exhaust time,first defecation time,and feeding time after surgery(P<0.05).On the 1st and 2nd d after surgery,IL-6,CRP and SAA levels in MXD group were lower than that in placebo control,but substance P level was higher,compared to the control(P<0.05).Functional diarrhea occurred in both MXD and XD groups without any other adverse effects,toxic reactions,and allergic reactions.Diarrhea was relieved after the discontinuation of the investigational remedies.Bowel sounds at 12 h after surgery,the occurring time of the first flatus,first defecation,postoperative liquid diet and semiliquid diet were significantly correlated with levels of IL-6,CRP,SAA and substance P on second day after surgery(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Treatment with MXD can relieve inflammatory response and improve GI function after surgery.Moreover,there are significant correlations between them.Furthermore,it does not cause serious adverse reactions.
文摘Objective: To evaluate the effects of abdominal massage on gastrointestinal function in the intensive care unit(ICU) patients.Methods: Randomized controlled trials about the effects of abdominal massage on gastrointestinal function in ICU patients were included from multiple electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, China Academic Journals Full-Text Database(CNKI), Wanfang Database, and CQVIP, until November 2018. Studies were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracting data and assessing. Data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3.Results: Nine studies with 720 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis in the intervention group were as follows: abdomen circumference: mean difference(MD)=-4.22, 95% confidence interval(CI)=(-6.20,-2.24), P<0.00001;abdominal distension: MD=0.34, 95% CI=(0.22, 0.52), P<0.00001;gastric residual: MD=-41.51, 95% CI=(-55.86,-29.15), P=0.001;gastric retention: MD=-0.23, 95% CI(-0.30,-0.15), P<0.00001;and vomiting: MD=0.12, 95% CI=(0.04, 0.35), P=0.0001.Conclusions: Abdominal massage is effective in reducing abdominal distension, gastric residual, and vomiting. When the intervention period was <7 days, abdominal massage could not reduce the abdominal circumference in ICU patients, and when the intervention period was equal to 7 days, abdominal massage could reduce the abdominal circumference in ICU patients.
文摘Objective:To investigate the impact of partial gastrectomy on gastrointestinal function in the treatment of patients with early gastric cancer.Methods:A sample of 20 patients with early-stage gastric cancer treated from January 2022 to January 2023 was randomly divided into two groups.Group A underwent partial gastrectomy,while Group B underwent distal subtotal gastrectomy.Surgical outcomes,complication rates,BMI indices,and quality of life were compared.Result:All surgical outcomes of patients with early gastric cancer in group A were better than those in group B(P<0.05);the postoperative complication rate for early gastric cancer in group A was lower than that in group B(P<0.05);the BMI index for patients with early gastric cancer in group A was higher than that in group B at different times(P<0.05);the postoperative quality of life(SF-36)score of group A for early gastric cancer was higher than that of group B(P<0.05).Conclusion:Partial gastrectomy for patients with early gastric cancer can increase BMI,optimize surgical outcomes,improve gastric function,and enhance the quality of life for gastric cancer patients.
文摘Objective: To observe the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal operation. Methods: A total of 148 patients undergoing abdominal surgery from June 2013 to June 2014 in our hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 74 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing and the observation group was treated with the pointer, acupuncture and external application of abdominal treatment on the basis of routine nursing, which is 2 times a day,7 days for a course of treatment. Results: The recovery time of bowel sound, the first anal exhaust defecation time the in the observation group and the hospital day was less than the control group. With the comparison of two groups, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and constipation in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: On the basis of routine nursing, the implementation of traditional Chinese medicine characteristic nursing can effectively promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, reduce the occurrence of complications, shorten the length of stay and improve the clinical effect.
文摘Objective: To explore the optimal timing of drug application for the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: Ninety patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into three groups: control group, intervention group 1 and intervention group 2. All three groups received routine perioperative nursing. Intervention group 1 and group 2 were given acupoint application of Chinese medicine at 0.5 h and 6 h after operation, and the waveform was monitored by electrogastrogram on the 1st day before operation and 3 d after operation. The first anal exhaust time, defecation time, abdominal distension and electrogastrogram changes were analyzed and compared in the three groups. Results: Compared with the first exhaust time and defecation time after operation, the intervention group 1 was earlier than the intervention group 2, and the intervention group 2 was earlier than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The average frequency, waveform response area and average amplitude of the intervention group 1 were better than those of the intervention group 2, and the intervention group 2 was better than the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Administration of Chinese medicine acupoint application within 0.5 hours after operation can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function and improve gastric motility in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, and the curative effect is significant and safe.
文摘Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common clinical symptom. In the modern society where peoples living standard is gradually improved, the change of diet structure makes peoples intestinal peristalsis also change accordingly. Because the food is too fine, the intestinal peristalsis is slow because of a long time without exercise, and the food residue is difficult to push to the rectum, so it is easy to lead to constipation. This paper will analyze the effect of gastrointestinal dynamic therapy in promoting the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal surgery, compare the change of curative effect of different patients and a certain number of data, and then conclude that gastrointestinal dynamic therapy can promote the early recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients, and improve the curative effect.
