Clinical efficacy of oral enteral nutrient powder and comprehensive intervention inaccelerating postoperative rehabilitation of patients with gastric cancer

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of early oral administration of enteral nutrient powder(Ansu) combined with comprehensive interventionsin accelerating postoperative recovery of patients with gastric cancer. Methods Thirty-four gastric cancer patients undergoing radical resection were randomly selected and assigned into the control (n = 17) and observation groups (n = 17). Patients in the control group received routine fluid replacement and follow-up, and their counterparts in the observation group were given with oral intake of Ansu in combination with comprehensive interventions. Comprehensive interventions include postoperative psychological intervention,postoperative diet management,nasogastric tube and drainage tube management,intravenous fluid infusion management and postoperative rehabilitation guidance. Postoperative efficacy was statistically compared between two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the incidence of nutritional risk at postoperative 10 d was significantly lower, the liver function-associated albumin level was significantly higher, the incidence of postoperative abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea was lower, the wound healing time was shorter,the length of hospital stay was shorter and the degree of satisfaction of patients was significantly improved in the observation group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Early postoperative oral administration of enteral nutrient powder combined with comprehensive interventions can effectively improve clinical prognosis, shorten treatment time, and achieve the purpose of accelerating postoperative recovery of patients with gastric cancer.
