Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical effects of gastrointestinal decompression with enteral feeding tube in elderly patients with gastric cancer.Methods 78 cases of gastric cancer patients undergoing postoperative gastric decompression with enteral feeding tube were selected as the treatment group,and 66 patients with gastric cancer undergoing postoperative intravenous nutrition and gastric decompression with routine nasogastric tube as the control group in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2015.The incidence rate of gastric tube patency,faster postoperative recovery,nutritional immune improvement,adverse reaction and complication were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence rate of adverse reactions and complications in treatment group were significant lower than in control group (3.0 ％ vs.12.8 ％,x2 =4.4857,P =0.0342;1.5 ％ vs.10.2％,x2 =4.6620,P =0.0308,respectively).Following parameters were significant better in treatment group versus in control group:the time of evacuating [(3.1 ± 0.3) d vs.(4.0 ± 0.1) d,t =24.9227,P =0.0000],defecation[(4.3 ± 0.6) d vs.(5.5 ± 1.1) d,t =7.9189,P =0.0000],extubation [(5.3±1.3)d vs.(10.1±2.2)d,t=15.5690,P=0.0000],hospitalization[(12.3±2.5)d vs.(18.6± 3.2)d,t=12.9864,P=0.0000],postoperative body weight[(57.2±4.9)kg vs(49.0±7.2)kg,t=-7.8408,P=0.0000],plasma protein[(133.2± 11.2)g/L vs(104.5± 10.3)g/L,t=-16.0055,P=0.0000],hemoglobin[(4.7 ± 1.0) g/L vs (3.2 ± 0.6) g/L,t =-11.0991,P =0.0000] and peripheral blood lymphocyte count[(3.5 ± 0.7) × 109/L vs (2.1 ± 0.4) × 109/L,t =-15.0088,P =0.0000].Conclusions Effects of postoperative gastrointestinal decompression in elderly patients with gastric cancer are similar between with routine gastric tube and with enteral feeding tube.However,the enteral feeding tube-induced enteral nutrition shows fewer side effects and complications,better nutritional and immune effects,and faster postoperative recovery,which is worthy of a generalization and application.
