Quantitative research and nursing effect of early ambulation in patients with gastrointestinal tumor after operation / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Objective There is no quantization scheme for the early ambulation in patients with gastrointestinal tumor after operation of enhanced recovery .The aim of this study was to explore a suitable objective method of postoperative ambulation for gastro -intestinal tumor patients . Methods Sixty six gastrointestinal tumor postoperative patients were randomly assigned to two groupsex-perimental group ( 33 cases ) and control group ( 33 cases ) .Enhanced recovery was adopted in the both groups afterthe operation . Wireless smart bracelets ( fitbit flex) were used in the experimental group , and the ambulation of patients was monitored by the hand of synchronous real time computer digital panel .At the same time, the patients was supervised for positive ambulation . Traditional quantitative methods of electronic pedometer were used in the control group.The postoperative ambulation , effect and compliance were compared between the two groups . Results Postoperative ambula-tion steps in the experimental group were increased compared with the control group on the days 1, 2, and 3postoperative, and the data were (208.70 ±45.76) vs (144.36 ±47.68), (560.73 ±148.67) vs (407.00 ±85.92), and (894.70 ±91.68) vs (674.00 ±73.06) steps (P<0.05).The first time of early ambulation, flatus, ca-tharsis, and compliance of ambulation showed significant difference in the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Wireless intelligent monitoring bracelet is objective and effective for monitoring and quantifying postoperative ambulation .It is superior to the traditional quantitative methods , and can improve the effect and compliance of the ambulation .Moreover , it can promote postoperative recovery in patient with enhanced recovery surgery .
