Application of traditional Chinese medicine encapsulation combined with electromagnetic wave therapy instrument in promoting intestinal function recovery after abdominal surgery
Objective To investigate the effect of traditional Chinese medicine encapsulation combined with electromagnet-ic wave therapy instrument in promoting intestinal function recovery after abdominal surgery.Methods A total of 90 patients undergoing abdominal surgery admitted to Ganzhou Cancer Hospital from December 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the research objects,and they were divided into control group(45 cases)and observation group(45 cases)according to random number table method.The control group received traditional Chinese medicine encapsulation intervention,and the observation group received traditional Chinese medicine encapsulation intervention combined with electromagnetic wave therapy instrument.The recovery of gastrointestinal function,severity of abdominal distension,length of hospital stay,hospi-talization cost and satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The first exhaust,bowel sound recovery and defecation time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,the differences were statistically signif-icant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of intestinal adhesion between the two groups(P>0.05).The severity of abdominal distension in the observation group was less than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The average hospital stay of observation group was shorter than that of control group,and the average hospitalization cost was lower than that of control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The total satisfaction of observation group(95.56%)was higher than that of control group(77.78%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The traditional Chinese medicine encapsulation combined with electro-magnetic wave therapy instrument can effectively improve the gastrointestinal function of patients,restore their nutritional status,reduce the symptoms of abdominal distension,reduce the occurrence of intestinal adhesion,and improve satisfaction.
