Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of stomach tube connector for preventing overfall and provide a theoretical basis for generalization of the new-type connector. Methods This study selected 157 patients required for long-term indwelling gastric tube in the First People's Hospital of Xuzhou from May 2016 to January 2017. Patients were divided into experimental group (n=78, stomach tube for preventing overfall) and control group (n=79, conventional stomach tube) with the random number table. This study recorded the success rate of indwelling gastric tube and adverse reactions of patients between two groups. The gastric tube was removed two months later. And then, the bacterial cultures were carried out. The characters of gastric tube and the injury of nasal mucosa were observed. Besides, the hand contamination of nurses between two groups and the the patients' satisfaction was investigated. Results The success rate of indwelling gastric tube, incidence of adverse reactions and injuries of nasal mucosa, and change of characters of gastric tube of experimental group and control group was 91.03%(71/78) vs 88.61%(70/79),7.69%(6/78) vs 7.59%(6/79), 15.38%(12/78) vs 17.72% (14/79),8.97% (7/78) vs 10.13% (8/79) with no significant differences (P> 0.05). The positive rate of bacterial cultures of gastric tube was 10.13% in control group, while there was no pathogenic bacteria in experimental group with a significant difference (P<0.05). The hand contamination rate of nurses was 8.97%(7/78) in experimental group significantly lower than that [24.05% (19/79)]in control group (P<0.01). The patients' satisfaction degree was 91.03% in experimental group which was higher than that in control group (69.62%)with a significant difference (P< 0.05). Conclusions The stomach tube connector for preventing overfall can effectively prevent nasogastric feeding overfall and avoid bacteria contamination in stomach tube connector and hand contamination of nurses. The operator was simplicity and safe with high patients' satisfaction. It is worth to be used widely in clinical application.
