Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application effect of portable device of airway humidification on patients with head and neck tumor who underwent tracheostomy.Methods:A total of 100 patients with head and neck tumors who underwent tracheostomy at Department of Head and Neck Surgery of Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from October 2021 to May 2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group by using a random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The control group received conventional nebulization inhalation for airway humidification,and the observation group adopted portable device of airway humidification with 0.45%sodium chloride solution to conduct sustained airway humidification.The effect of airway humidification,occurrence of phlegm scabs,injury and bleeding of airway,tracheal tube obstruction,and comfort level of patients after surgery were observed and compared between the two groups.Results:The satisfaction rates of the patients of observation group at the 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,and 5th day after surgery were 84.0%,88.0%,92.0%,96.0%and 96.0%for humidification of wet sputum,which were better than those of control group,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=46.240,64.103,70.560,67.919,74.227,P<0.05),respectively.The formations of phlegm scabs were respectively 1,5,1 and 1 cases at the 2nd,3rd,4th,5th d after surgery in observation group,which were less than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=7.111,23.926,21.760,17.344,P<0.05),respectively.The numbers of airway injury bleeding and overall tracheal tube obstruction at the 2nd d after surgery in the observation group were respectively 2 cases and 1 case,which were significantly less than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=4.000,5.982,P<0.05),respectively.The comfort levels of airway humidification and suction phlegm,and overall comfort evaluation were respectively(17.96±0.75)scores,(16.06±1.05)scores and(34.04±1.63)scores in the observation group,which all were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=9.843,17.298,15.792,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:The portable device of airway humidification has a significant effect on airway humidification of patients with head and neck tumors who undergo tracheostomy,which can reduce the occurrence of phlegm scabs,and reduce the number of overall tracheal tube obstruction,and improve comfort level of patient with head and neck tumors who undergo tracheostomy.
