Application study of early removal of drainage tube in rapid recovery of patients with thyroid cancer / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical application effect of early removal of drainage tube in rapid postoperative recovery of patients with thyroid cancer.Methods:A total of 90 thyroid cancer patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected and divided into a control group and a study group according to the order of operation time. Patients in the control group were given routine extubation, and patients in the study group were removed early during rapid recovery after surgery. The complication rate, postoperative hospital stay, satisfaction, extubation time distribution, and drainage port healing rate 3 days after surgery were compared between the two groups of patients.Results:In the study group, the incidence of complications after drainage tube removal during rapid recovery after surgery was 6.7% (3/45), which was significantly lower than that of the control group, 26.7% (12/45), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 6.48, P <0.05). The postoperative hospital stay in the study group was (3.25±0.89) days, and the satisfaction score was (97.83±7.25), which was significantly shorter than the control group's (5.68±0.96) days and (92.36±12.19). The difference was statistically significant ( t value was 12.45, 2.59, P <0.05). Conclusions:Early removal of the drainage tube during rapid postoperative recovery of patients with thyroid cancer can effectively reduce the trauma of the drainage tube orifice, shorten the hospital stay, and improve patient satisfaction.
