Abstract

Objective To explore the application and nursing of the simple nasal ventilation tube in＆nbsp;patients after nasal endoscopical surgery .Methods Forty-three patients with nasal endoscopical surgery were randomly divided into the observation group （n=23） and the control group （n=20） according to the random number table . The control group received the routine nursing and packing hemostasia sponge , and the observation group received the simple nasal ventilation tube and the nursing of ventilation tube on the basis of the control group .The nasal congestion , nasal pain , headache , eye swelling , ear discomfort , the effect of diet and sleep were evaluated by the visual rating scale （ VAS） in the preoperative and postoperative 2 days.Results No difference was found in the score of VAS before the operation in two groups （P〉0.05）.The scores of nasal congestion, nasal pain, headache, eye swelling, the effect of diet and sleep in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group first and second day after the operation , and the differences were statistically significant （t=-6.557, -2.022, -2.420, -2.410, -2.772,-2.559, respectively;-5.776, -2.772, -2.403, -3.200, -2.902, -0.413, respectively; P〈0.05）.Conclusions Nasal ventilation tube can relieve the discomfort from nasal packing in patients , and improve their quality of life .
