Abstract:

Objective To explore the application effect of enhanced recovery after surgery concept in perioperative nursing of laparoscopic appendectomy. Method A total of 280 patients with acute appendicitis diagnosed and treated in Kunshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively selected as the research objects and they were randomly divided into observation group (n=140) and control group (n=140). The control group was given routine surgical nursing, while the observation group was given rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing.

The postoperative related indexes and recovery of the patients in the two groups were compared. Result The postoperative anal exhaust time, the first time to get out of bed, the postoperative defecation time, the postoperative knife pain score and the length of hospital stay in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 4.28%, which was lower than 10.71% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The perioperative implementation of fast track surgical nursing in laparoscopic appendectomy can accelerate the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function, reduce the length of hospital stay and the incidence of postoperative complications, which is worthy of clinical surgical nursing promotion and application.
