Abstract: | Objective To explore the effect of chewing gum combined with external application of evodia rutaecarpa on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gynecological tumor surgery.Methods A total of 86 patients with gynecological tumors admitted to and treated in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected and divided into two groups through random number table method,with 43 patients in each group.The control group was received conventional nursing intervention after operation,while on this basis of what was given to the control group,the study group given therapy of chewing gum combined with external application of evodia rutaecarpa.The level of gastric motility index,the recovery of gastrointestinal function,the hospitalization time and the incidence rate of complications were compared between the two groups.Results The motilin level of the study group was (168.36±45.79) ng/L 2 h after operation,while that of the control group was(169.41±43.92) ng/L,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05);the motilin level of the study group was(234.08±50.86) ng/L 72 h after operation,while that of the control group was (202.53±48.29) ng/L,both of which were higher than the corresponding levels 2 h after operation,and that of the study group was higher than that of the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The recovery time of bowel sounds,the anal exhaust time,the defecation time and the hospitalization time of the study group after operation was(21.19±6.63)h,(37.57±7.06)h,(53.38±9.15) h and(5.98±0.84)d respectively,all shorter than the(26.54±7.11)h,(43.88±8.25)h,(60.46±11.37)h and(6.82±1.05)d of the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The total incidence rate of complications in the study group was 6.98%,lower than the 23.26% in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Chewing gum combined with external application of evodia rutaecarpa can improve the gastric motility of the patients with gynecological tumors,promote postoperative recovery of their gastrointestinal function,and reduce the incidence of complications,which is conducive to the rehabilitation of the patients. |
