Application of improved double-oxygen-pipe structure for patients after operation of esophageal carcinoma

Abstract

Objective To analyze the effect of improved double-oxygen-pipe structure for postoperative esophageal cancer patients. Methods We chose 60 cases of esophageal cancer patients and randomly divided them into observation group and control group, 30 cases in each group. The observation group were treated by improved double-oxygen-pipe absorption, and the control group underwent traditional single-oxygen-pipe. The change of arterial blood oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) and SpO2 were observed in the two groups of patients after the operation and compared the comfort level of the oxygen absorption. Results Two groups of patients with PaO2 and SpO2 improved to (95.04±4.63)% and (96.93±4.60)mmHg after 1 day operation, compared with (91.26±7.27)%, (90.37±2.88)mmHg in the control group with statistical differences between two groups (t=2.213, 4.371; P<0.05). There were 25 cases (83.33%) of patients in the observation group with comfort, that was significantly higher than 12 cases (40%) of patients in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=8.992, 11.365; P<0.05). The observation group had only 1 case (3.33%) self extubation which was less than that of the control group (17 cases) occupied 56.57% (Z/χ2=8.992, 11.365; P<0.05). Conclusions Improved double-oxygen-pipe structure can improve the recovery of PaO2 and SpO2 in postoperative patients and improve the comfort and compliance of oxygen absorption. This method is worthy to popularized in clinical. Key words: Esophageal carcinoma; Oxygen absorption; Comfort
