Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of different posture angles on the pain and comfort in patients with early esophageal cancer after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), so as to provide a basis for patients to choose the best position after ESD.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. One hundred and twenty patients with early esophageal cancer who underwent ESD in the Department of Gastroenterology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from March 2021 to March 2022 were selected as the study subjects, and they were randomly divided into 4 groups of 30 patients each according to the randomized numerical method. Group A was the conventional group, which was in the free position after the operation, and groups B, C, and D were the experimental groups, with group B in the head-high-feet-low 30° position, group C in the head-high-feet-low 45° position, and group D in the head-high-feet-low 60° position. The pain scores after returning to the room after the operation, at 8, 16, 24 h after the operation and comfort scores at 24 h after the operation of the patients in the four groups were evaluated by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ).Results:There were 17 males and 13 females in group A; there were 20 males and 10 females in group B; there were 22 males and 8 females in group C; there were 19 males and 11 females in group D. All patients were aged 30-85 years old. The time main effect, grouping main effect, and interaction effect of postoperative pain NRS score among four groups of patients were all statistically significant ( F=618.13, 12.14, 6.75, all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the NRS scores of patients after returning to the room after the operation among the four groups ( P>0.05). The NRS scores in group D at 8 and 16 h after the operation were (1.93 ± 0.64), (0.60 ± 0.47) points, lower than the (2.87 ± 1.14), (1.97 ± 1.22) points, (2.17 ± 0.83), (1.97 ± 1.61) points, (2.30 ± 0.75), (0.80 ± 0.61) points in groups A, B, and C, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 0.79-4.72, all P<0.05). The NRS scores in group B at 24 h after the operation was (0.23 ± 0.18) points, lower than the (1.53 ± 1.08), (0.30 ± 0.21), (0.46 ± 0.25) points in groups A, C, and D, the differences were statistically significant ( t= 5.32, 1.34, 1.37, all P<0.05). The GCQ total scores at 24 h after the operation were (96.96 ± 3.05), (99.77 ± 3.21), (93.53 ± 3.76), (92.20 ± 3.69) points in group A, B, C, D, the difference was statistically significant ( F= 29.59, P<0.05). Moreover, the GCQ total scores at 24 h after the operation in group B were higher than those in groups A, C, and D, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.15, 7.01, 8.52, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Targeted body position management can effectively reduce postoperative pain and improve patient comfort in early esophageal cancer patients undergoing ESD.
