Abstract:
Objective To explore clinical effect of modified postural drainage for treating pulmonary infection of senile patients with gastric cancer.Methods 107 cases of patients with gastric cancer were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n =53) and treatment group (n =54),which were respectively treated by routine postoperative therapy and nursing measures and modified postural drainage based on these routine measures,and compared daily amount of expectoration sputum,positive cases of sputum culture,restore time of postoperative blood test,postoperative fever time,cases of pulmonary infection on the postoperative tenth day and length of stay.Results Daily amount of expectoration sputum of patients in treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group [(185.7 ± 23.7) ml vs.(99.7 ± 17.6) ml] (P ＜ 0.05).However,restore time of postoperative characters of blood test [white blood cell count (2.9±0.9) d vs (5.0±0.7)d,C-reaction protein (35±0.7)d vs.(7.4±0.6) d],postoperative fever time [(1.9±0.5) d vs.(3.6±1.4) d],cases of atelectasis (5 cases vs.19 cases) and length of stay [(1.9±0.5) d vs.(3.6±1.4) d] were respectively significantly less than those of control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Modified postural drainage could effectively prevent postoperative atelectasis and pulmonary infection,significantly reduced incidence of postoperative atelectasis of senile patients with gastric cancer operation,and so it was worthy of clinical application.
