ABSTRACT
Objective To observe effect of abdomen compression on improvement of anal exsufflation for patients after abdomen operation. Methods Patients in the department of general surgery( 120 cases )after abdomen operations were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 60 cases in each group.The control group adopted routine postoperative nursing,The experimental group received abdomen compression baaed upon routine nursing. Anal exsufflation time was compared between the two groups. Sults Anal exsufflation time of the experimental group undergoing different operations was earlier than that of the control group(P < 0.01 ). Conclusions Abdomen compression can bring forward anal exsufflation time,fa-cilitate the recovery of gastrointestinal function and normal diet, thus improve the rehabilitation of patients
