Influencing factors and treatment countermeasures of nasal feeding tube in patients with laryngeal carcinoma after operation

Abstract

Objective To analyze the influencing factors and treatment countermeasures of nasogastric feeding tube in patients with laryngeal carcinoma after operation. Methods 60 patients with gastric tube were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group. After the control group had been indwelled stomach tubes, standardized health education and nursing care were implemented. The observation group were analyzed in time and the corresponding countermeasures were taken in combination with clinical factors by analyzing the influencing factors of gastric tube use. The statistical analysis was performed on the satisfaction of the groups, the length of stay, unplanned extubation, tube plugging, and complications after catheterization. Results After the intervention, 2 cases occurred unplanned extubation, 2 plugging, and 4 complications after tube insertion in the observation group; and 12, 8, and 12 in the control group. The hospitalization time was significantly shorter and the satisfaction degree was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group [(15.5±1.1) d vs. (21.6±1.3) d and 96.67% vs. 73.33%], with statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Strengthening patient education, discovering problems and conducting nursing interventions in time, effectively indwelling nasogastric feeding tubes for postoperative patients, ensuring sufficient nutrient intake of the body, and facilitating the recovery of the patient play important roles.
