目的 探讨在结直肠手术围手术期中不常规应用鼻胃管的重要意义及其可行性。方法 选取2007年7月至2008年4月期间的结直肠手术患者40例，随机平均分为不留置鼻胃管和留置鼻胃管2组，记录２组各临床指标及并发症发生情况，并进行统计学分析。结果 不留置鼻胃管组患者舒适度增加，首次排气、排便及住院时间缩短（Plt;0.05），住院费用也相应降低（Plt;0.05），肺炎、肺不张、切口感染等并发症发生率低（Plt;0.05）。结论 结直肠手术不常规放置鼻胃管安全、可行，对减轻患者痛苦、减少术后并发症的发生率、缩短患者住院时间有重要意义。
ObjectiveTo compare the safety and comfort of patients with or without postoperative gastric tube placement after esophageal cancer surgery, and analyze the cost and nursing time of gastric tube placement. Methods The patients with esophageal cancer undergoing minimally invasive surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2021 were enrolled. The patients were divided into a gastric tube indwelling group and a non gastric tube indwelling group according to whether the gastric tube was indwelled after the operation. The safety and comfort indicators of the two groups were compared. Results A total of 130 patients were enrolled. There were 66 patients in the gastric tube indwelling group, including 53 males and 13 females, aged 61.80±9.05 years and 64 patients in the non gastric tube indwelling group, including 55 males and 9 females, aged 64.47±8.00 years. Six patients in the non gastric tube indwelling group needed to place gastric tube 1 to 3 days after the operation due to their condition. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05). The subjective comfort of patients in the gastric tube indwelling group was significantly lower than that in the non gastric tube indwelling group (P<0.001), and the incidence of foreign body sensation in the throat of patients in the gastric tube indwelling group was higher than that in the non gastric tube indwelling group (P<0.001). The average nursing time in the gastric tube indwelling group was about 59.58 minutes, and the average cost of gastric tube materials and nursing was 378.24 yuan per patient. Conclusion No gastric tube used after operation for appropriate esophageal cancer patients will not increase the incidence of postoperative complications (pulmonary infection, anastomotic leakage, chylothorax), but can increase the comfort of patients, save cost and reduce nursing workload, which is safe, feasible and economical.
ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of decompression without gastric tube after minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery.MethodsSeventy-two patients who underwent minimally invasive esophageal cancer resection at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from 2016 to 2018 were selected as a trial group including 68 males and 4 females with an average age of 58.5±7.9 years, who did not use gastric tube for gastrointestinal decompression after surgery. Seventy patients who underwent the same operation from 2013 to 2015 were selected as the control group, including 68 males and 2 females, with an average age of 59.1±6.9 years, who were indwelled with gastric tube for decompression after surgery. We observed and compared the intraoperative and postoperative indicators and complications of the two groups.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative level of serum albumin, postoperative nasal jejunal nutrition, whether to enter the ICU postoperatively, death within 30 days after surgery, anastomotic leakage, lung infection, vomiting, bloating or hoarseness (P>0.05). No gastroparesis occurred in either group. Compared with the control group, the recovery time of the bowel sounds and the first exhaust time after the indwelling in the trial group were significantly shorter, and the total hospitalization cost, the incidence of nausea, sore throat, cough, foreign body sensation and sputum difficulty were significantly lower (P<0.05).ConclusionIt is feasible to remove the gastric tube for gastrointestinal decompression after minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery, which will not increase the incidence of postoperative complications, instead, accelerate the postoperative recovery of patients.
