Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of perioperative heat preservation nursing measures on gastrointestinal function and nursing effect of patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery. Methods 86 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were divided into an observation group (n = 43) and a control group (n = 43). The observation group was treated with perioperative heat preservation, and the control group with routine perioperative nursing. The postoperative gastrointestinal function and nursing effect of the two groups were compared. Results The postoperative exhaust time, the defecation time, the feeding time, and the bowel sound recovery time were (44.79±3.94) h, (2.92±0.39) d, (34.16±5.76) h, (31.38±2.73) h in the observation group, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P 0.05). The intra- and post-operative body temperatures were (36.28 ±0.42) ℃ and (36.35 ±0.40) ℃ in the observation group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (both P 0.05). Conclusion Perioperative heat preservation nursing measures for patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function and gastrointestinal barrier function, and avoid hypothermia during the operation. The nursing effect is remarkable. Key words: Perioperative heat preservation nursing; Laparoscopy; Gastrointestinal surgery; Gastrointestinal function; Nursing
