Construction of preoperative rehabilitation program for gastric cancer patients / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To construct a preoperative rehabilitation program for gastric cancer patients, aiming to provide scientific and reasonable preoperative guidance for gastric cancer patients.Methods:On the basis of literature research and expert group meeting, the first draft of the preoperative rehabilitation program for gastric cancer patients was constructed. From October 2021 to January 2022, the Delphi method was used to conduct 2 rounds of expert letter inquiries to 16 experts in related fields from 11 hospitals in Jiangsu Province, and the entries were revised according to the experts′ inquiries.Results:In the two rounds of expert correspondence, the positive coefficients of experts were 88.89% and 100.00%, and the authority coefficients of experts were both 0.88. The coordination coefficients of the items in the two rounds of inquiry were 0.279 and 0.290, respectively. The final program consisted of 3 first-level entries, 11 second-level entries and 32 third-level entries.Conclusions:The scheme constructed in this study is scientific, reliable and applicable, and is worth being promoted further in clinical practice.

Research progress on preoperative inspiratory muscle training for prevention of postoperative pulmonary complications in adult cardiac surgery / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

@#In the past two decades, adult cardiac surgery has developed by leaps and bounds in both anesthetic techniques and surgical methods, whereas the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) has not changed. Until now PPCs are still the most common complications after cardiac surgery, resulting in poor prognosis, significantly prolonged hospital stays and increased medical costs. With the promotion of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), pre-rehabilitation has been becoming a basic therapy to prevent postoperative complications. Among them, preoperative inspiratory muscle training as a very potential intervention method has been widely and deeply studied. However, there is still no consensus about the definition and diagnostic criteria of PPCs around the world; and there is significant heterogeneity in preoperative inspiratory muscle training in the prevention of pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery in adults, which impedes its clinical application. This paper reviewed the definition, mechanism, and evaluation tools of PPCs, as well as the role, implementation plan and challenges of preoperative inspiratory muscle training in the prevention of PPCs in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, to provide reference for clinical application.
