Application of the self-made double lumen catheter in intestinal fistula after abdominal surgery

Abstract

Objective To study the application effect of self-made double lumen catheter in intestinal fistula after abdominal surgery. Methods This study included 28 patients of abdominal surgery with intestinal fistula, all the patients used self-made double cavity drainage tube drainage.The postoperative treatment of patients with intestinal fistula and complications, and effect of self-made double lumen catheter application in abdominal fistula after the operation were evaluated. Results 15 cases of intestinal fistula after abdominal operation received self-made double lumen catheter, the average hospitalization time, average time of extubation were (14.59±3.78)d, (8.08±2.03)d, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those of the control group(t=2.555, 3.444, all P<0.05). After treatment, the total satisfaction rate of the observation group was 100.00%, which was significantly higher than 61.54% of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=7.023, P<0.05). Conclusion The patients with intestinal fistula after abdominal surgery used self-made double cavity drainage tube, the drainage effect is significant, it can shorten the hospitalization time and extubation time, significantly improve the quality of life of patients, with high patients' satisfaction, it is worthy of popularization and application.
