Analysis of the Impact of ERAS-based Comprehensive Nursing Pro-gramme on Complications and Hospital Stay after Emergency Surgery in Elderly Patients with Appendicitis
Objective To explore the clinical value of comprehensive nursing programme based on the concept of en-hanced recovery after surgery in elderly patients with appendicitis after emergency surgery,and to analyze its influ-ence on related complications.Methods From January 2023 to December 2023,86 elderly patients with appendicitis undergoing emergency surgery in Lijin County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the research objects.According to different nursing methods,they were divided into control group and observation group,with 43 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing,and the observation group received comprehensive nursing program based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery The postoperative recovery,complication rate,quality of life and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The first anal exhaust time(20.65±12.22)h and defecation time(45.34±21.01)h in the observation group were shorter than(31.73±14.91)h and(56.10±19.08)h in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=3.769,2.486;both P<0.05).The total incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Before intervention,there was no significant difference in quality of life scores between the two groups(P>0.05);after intervention,the quality of life scores of the two groups were higher than those before intervention,and the quality of life scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).The total nursing satisfaction rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion After emergency surgery for elderly patients with appendicitis,the comprehensive nursing program based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery can accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal function,and is conducive to improving the quality of life and nursing satisfaction of patients.
