Abstract
Objective To investigate a new method for fixation of nasobiliary tube after endoscopic nasobiliary draniage (ENBD). Methods A total of 1 127 patients underwent ENBD were randomly divided into control (traditional method) and experimental group (reverse-α method). The differences in the incidence of complications, patient self-comfort and the length of taking care of nasobiliary tube were evaluated between two groups during the period of indwelling nasobiliary tube. Results The incidence of nasal mucosa of pressure sore and dystopy of nasobiliary tube in the experimental group were 14 cases and 7 cases comparing with 31 cases and 28 cases in the control group (χ2=7.569, 14.071, respectively; P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the scores of nasal comfort and average length of taking care were (3.96±0.84) and (72.2±9.7)s higher than those of the control group (t=8.221, 10.063, respectively; P<0.05). Conclusions Patient comfort during indwelling nasobiliary tube after ENBD can be effectively improved by using 'reverse-α method’ to fix the tube. It can also reduce the complications and improve the care efficiency. Key words: Nursing care; Nasobiliary tube drainage; Fixation
