Effect of Cuyu Decoction Fumigation and Washing Sitz Baths on Wound Healing and Symptom Disappearance Time in Postoperative Patients with Anal Fistula
Objective:To explore the effect of Cuyu Decoction fumigating and washing sitz baths on postoperative nursing of patients with anal fistula and its influence on wound healing and symptom disappearance time.Method:A total of 480 patients with anal fistula admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2022 to May 2023 were selected,and they were divided into two groups by random number table method,with 240 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine measures,and the observation group was treated with Cuyu Decoction fumigating and washing sitz baths on the basis of the control group,both groups were treated for 2 weeks.The wound healing rate,symptom disappearance time,wound area,wound pain,serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)levels were compared between the two groups.Result:The wound healing rate of the two groups after 2 weeks of intervention were higher than those after 1 week of intervention,the wound healing rate of the observation group after 1 week and 2 weeks of intervention were higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The disappearance time of redness,purulent secretion and rotting flesh in the observation group were earlier than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After intervention,the wound area of both groups were reduced,and the observation group was smaller than the control group,and the visual analogue scale(VAS)score of both groups were decreased,and the observation group was lower than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After intervention,the levels of VEGF and bFGF were increased in both groups,and the observation group were higher than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Cuyu Decoction fumigating and washing sitz baths can significantly promote wound healing,accelerate symptom resolution,and alleviate wound pain in patients after anal fistula surgery.
