Effect of early extubation and early diet on postoperative recovery of patients with colorectal cancer surgery

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of early extubation and early diet on postoperative recovery of patients with colorectal cancer surgery. Methods 120 cases of selective colorectal operation patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group,60 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with extubation and fluidity after anal exsufflation,in the observation group were treated with early fluidity diet at postoperative 1 day extubation. Postoperative recovery, complications and patient comfort were observed and compared between the two groups. Results Compared with control group,anal exhaust time shortened,the first ambulation time was in advance(P 0.05).There were significant differences in nausea and vomiting,throat pain,cough expectoration,pulmonary complications between the two groups(P<0.01).There was significant difference in degree of comfort between the two groups(P<0.01). Conclusions Indwelling gastric tube can reduce postoperative wound dehiscence, anastomotic leakage, in contrast with indwelling gastric tube directly related complications such as:nausea and vomiting,throat pain, cough, expectoration, pulmonary complications are more frequent. Early extubation and early oral feeding can promote the recovery of intestinal function and reduce the pain of patients.
