Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of multimode comprehensive treatments on relieving discomfort during postoperative 7 days in patients after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP).METHODS A total of 60 patients who underwent UPPP were randomly divided into experimental group and control group.Multimode comprehensive therapy was applied in experimental group(n=30) during postoperative consecutive 7 days,which included gastrogavage,whole pharynx cavity cleaning care with aspirator,intravenous flubiprofen axetil injection 100 mg two times a day,nebulization of budesonide suspension liquid 2 mg two times a day.The treatment methods in control group(n=30) included liquid or soft diets,routine oral cavity care.Visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied to evaluate the discomfort degree including pharyngeal pain,globus and pharyngeal mucus accumulation.The incision healing degree was also recorded.RESULTS VAS scores were highest(6-7.5) in the first two days after UPPP in control group.Compared with control group,the scores of pharyngeal pain,globus and pharyngeal mucus accumulation were lower and the rate of incision complete heal was higher(53.3％) in experimental group(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION The period of most severe pharyngeal discomfort after UPPP is within 48 hours after operation.Multimode comprehensive treatment can relieve pain,improve subjective globus feeling and mucus accumulation,and promote incision healing.
