目的 探讨在结直肠手术围手术期中不常规应用鼻胃管的重要意义及其可行性。方法 选取2007年7月至2008年4月期间的结直肠手术患者40例，随机平均分为不留置鼻胃管和留置鼻胃管2组，记录２组各临床指标及并发症发生情况，并进行统计学分析。结果 不留置鼻胃管组患者舒适度增加，首次排气、排便及住院时间缩短（Plt;0.05），住院费用也相应降低（Plt;0.05），肺炎、肺不张、切口感染等并发症发生率低（Plt;0.05）。结论 结直肠手术不常规放置鼻胃管安全、可行，对减轻患者痛苦、减少术后并发症的发生率、缩短患者住院时间有重要意义。
ObjectiveTo assess the safety for removing nasogastric tube(NGT)within postoperative 24 h in Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD)patients. MethodsThe clinical data of 310 patients performed classic Whipple PD from January 2008 to March 2013 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into early (≤24 h after operation)removing NGT group and late( > 24 h after operation)removing NGT group according to the time of NGT duration. The ratio of NGT reinsertion, time of solid diet tolerance, hospital stay, mortality, and major complications associated with PD were compared between two groups. Results①The demography and preoperative comorbidities characteristics were similar(P > 0.05).②There was no statistical difference of ratio of NGT reinsertion between two groups(P=0.450).③The differences of rates of major complications associated with PD and mortality were not statistically different(P > 0.05)by univariate analysis, but the rate of total complications in the early removing NGT group was significantly lower than that in the late removing NGT group (P=0.014)by multivariate analysis.④The average time of solid diet tolerance(P=0.013)and average hospital stay(P < 0.001)in the early removing NGT group were significantly shorter than those in the late removing NGT group. ConclusionFor patients comfort, NGT following PD should be removed as early as possible even immediately after extubation for selective patients.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and feasibility of non-nasogastric tube throughout the perioperative period of classical Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 63 patients who underwent Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2020 to August 2023. According to whether nasogastric tube was placed throughout the perioperative period, the patients were divided into nasogastric tube group (NGT group, n=32) and no nasogastric tube group (no NGT group, n=31). The intraoperative indicators such as gastrointestinal anastomosis mode and outcome measures such as postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Results① Preoperative baseline data: the proportion of benign diseases (P=0.005) and preoperative pancreatitis (P=0.003) of the no NGT group were higher than those of the NGT group, and other preoperative baseline data, such as age and sex, were not statistically significant (P>0.05). ② Intraoperative index: the proportion of circular stapler (P=0.009) was smaller and the operation time was shorter (P<0.001), but there was no significant difference in the anastomosis, intraoperative blood transfusion and intraoperative bleeding (P>0.05). ③ Postoperative outcome measures: the postoperative length of hospital stay (P<0.001) and the incidence of delayed gastric emptying (P<0.001) of the no NGT group were lower than those in the NGT group, but the postoperative time of food intake, incidence of pancreatic fistula, incidence of postoperative bleeding, and Clavien-Dindo grade of complications were not significant (P>0.05), and on one died within 30 d after operation. ConclusionsThe results of this study preliminarily show that, it is safe and feasible not to place nasogastric tubes throughout the perioperativeperiod in patients undergoing classical Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy. Compared with placing nasogastric tube, it can shorten the postoperative hospital stay, reduce the incidence of postoperative delayed gastric emptying.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of intranasal lidocaine spray before nasogastric tube insertion. MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM and CNKI databases concerning randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the efficacy and safety of intranasal lidocaine spray before nasogastric tube insertion from their inception to January 2014. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was then conducted using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsSix RCTs involving 384 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the lidocaine group and the saline group in pain and discomfort scores (MD=-25.35, 95%CI -30.37 to -24.33) and first successful insertion rate (RR=1.38, 95%CI 1.21 to 1.57). ConclusionIntranasal lidocaine spray before nasogastric tube insertion could reduce patient pain and discomforts related to the procedure, and improve the first successful insertion rate.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of Chinese herbal enema in ileus patients. MethodsThe randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs about Chinese herbal enema and gastrointestinal intubation versus western medicines in the treatment of ileus disease was searched in PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2013), CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data from the date of their establishment to July 2013. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1. ResultsA total of 27 RCTs and 3 quasi-RCTs involving 3 074 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the Chinese herbal enema and gastrointestinal intubation group was superior to the control group in raising the total clinical effective rate (OR=4.69, 95%CI 3.70 to 5.94, P < 0.000 01), as well as shortening the hospitalization time (SMD=-1.19, 95%CI-1.42 to-0.96, P < 0.000 01), time of anus exhaust (SMD=-1.52, 95%CI-1.76 to-1.28, P < 0.000 01), defecation (SMD=-2.27, 95%CI-3.43 to-1.11, P=0.000 1), time of gastric tube indwelling (SMD=-1.56, 95%CI-1.86 to-1.27, P < 0.000 01), and symptoms complete resolution (SMD=-0.74, 95%CI-1.11 to-0.37, P < 0.000 1), all with significant differences. ConclusionChinese herbal enema and gastrointestinal intubation is more beneficial than western medicine alone for ileus. Due to limited quality of the included studies, the abovementioned conclusion still needs to be verified by conducting more high quality blinding RCTs.
ObjectiveTo compare the safety and comfort of patients with or without postoperative gastric tube placement after esophageal cancer surgery, and analyze the cost and nursing time of gastric tube placement. Methods The patients with esophageal cancer undergoing minimally invasive surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2021 were enrolled. The patients were divided into a gastric tube indwelling group and a non gastric tube indwelling group according to whether the gastric tube was indwelled after the operation. The safety and comfort indicators of the two groups were compared. Results A total of 130 patients were enrolled. There were 66 patients in the gastric tube indwelling group, including 53 males and 13 females, aged 61.80±9.05 years and 64 patients in the non gastric tube indwelling group, including 55 males and 9 females, aged 64.47±8.00 years. Six patients in the non gastric tube indwelling group needed to place gastric tube 1 to 3 days after the operation due to their condition. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05). The subjective comfort of patients in the gastric tube indwelling group was significantly lower than that in the non gastric tube indwelling group (P<0.001), and the incidence of foreign body sensation in the throat of patients in the gastric tube indwelling group was higher than that in the non gastric tube indwelling group (P<0.001). The average nursing time in the gastric tube indwelling group was about 59.58 minutes, and the average cost of gastric tube materials and nursing was 378.24 yuan per patient. Conclusion No gastric tube used after operation for appropriate esophageal cancer patients will not increase the incidence of postoperative complications (pulmonary infection, anastomotic leakage, chylothorax), but can increase the comfort of patients, save cost and reduce nursing workload, which is safe, feasible and economical.
