Effect of fast-track surgery on perioperative nursing care for patients with abdominal surgery: a Meta analysis

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effect of fast-track surgery on perioperative nursing care for patients with abdominal surgery. Methods Using FTS and perioperative nursing as keywords, relevant literature was retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Med, Cochrane Library and PubMed databases. Articles including patients who underwent abdominal surgery as the research subjects were screened and analyzed with RevMan 5.3. Results Seven articles were included, covering 288 experimental cases and 290 control cases. Patients with FTS nursing had a higher satisfaction with nursing (P<0.05) , shorter postoperative hospital stay (Z=6.71, P<0.05), shorter postoperative anal exhaust time (Z=9.08, P<0.05), and lower incidence of postoperative incision infection (Z=2.65, P=0.05),Hospitalization costs were also reduced (Z=11.75, P<0.05). The incidence of complications, including postoperative abdominal infection, anastomotic fistula, intestinal obstruction, and lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, did not increase. Conclusions FTS nursing can improve the satisfaction of patients with abdominal surgery and reduce their hospitalization expenses and recovery time these results indicate that FTS is a safe and feasible nursing measure.
