INVESTIGATION INTO EARLY POSTOPERATIVE INFLAMMATORY SMALL BOWEL OBSTRUCTION BY APPLYING GASTROINTESTINAL DECOMPRESSION
Vol 30, Issue 3, 2016
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate early postoperative inflammatory small bowel obstruction (EPISBO) by applying gastrointestinal decompression to relieve abdominal distension. Thirty-six cases of patients were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (20 cases) and an observation group (16 cases). Routine continuous gastrointestinal decompression was assigned to the control group, while gastrointestinal decompression with dynamic and profound adjustment of the gastric tube and abdomen movement was assigned to the observation group, to induce abundant gastric juice and gas, and significantly relieve abdominal distension. A test was performed for each of the two groups to observe the relief time of the abdominal distension and the difference of abdominal girth of 5 cm before and after gastrointestinal decompression. Compared with the control group, the patients in the observation group with abdominal distension had earlier pain relief. More patients in the observation group had a difference of abdominal girth of 5 cm before and after gastrointestinal decompression. In gastrointestinal decompression, the method of dynamic and profound adjustment of the gastric tube and abdomen movement improve the effect of the gastrointestinal decompression, which relieves abdominal distention and promotes the postoperative recovery of organ functions.
