Study of the Effect of Preoperative Dietary Intervention on Gastrointestinal Reaction of Microparticle TACE

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of preoperative dietary intervention on the gastrointestinal reaction of microparticle transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods: A total of 60 patients with primary liver cancer who were treated in our hospital from January 2018 to October 2018 were selected for this study. The random sampling method was used to divide the patients into an intervention group (30 cases) and a control group (30 cases). The control group received routine intervention, whereas the intervention group received optimized nursing intervention. The incidence of gastrointestinal reactions, the vomiting frequency, the average vomiting volume, the incidence of stomach discomfort, the quality of life, and the anxiety and depression indicators of both groups were compared. Results: The results of all indicators of the intervention group were better than those of the control group. The incidence of gastrointestinal reactions in the intervention group was 13.9%, which was lower than 43.3% of the control group. The scores of QLQ-C30 of the intervention group were higher than those of the control group; the SAS and SDS scores in the intervention group were lower than those of the control group. Conclusion: Preoperative dietary intervention can reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal reactions of microparticle TACE and improve the symptoms of gastric discomfort among patients.
