Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the effect of early feeding nursing care for patients undergoing total hip replacement.
Methods
From January, 2013 to December, 2016, one hundred and twenty-seven subjects were enrolled into this study, and were randomly divided into an observation group (n=65) and a control group (n=62). The control group were routinely cared, and the observation group received early feeding nursing care. The incidences of postoperative nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension, as well as the times for anal exhaust, defecation, and normal eating were compared between the two groups. The incidence of perioperative complications, average hospitalization days, average hospitalization expense, clinical effect, and nursing satisfaction were analyzed.
Results
There were no statistical differences in the incidences of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension between the two groups. The times for anal exhaust, defecation, and normal eating were shorter in the observation group than in the control group (all P 0.05). The nursing satisfaction was 89.23% in the observation group and was 70.97% in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Early feeding nursing care for patients undergoing total hip replacement can speed up their functional recovery of hip joint and stomach and intestine, reduce hospital stay and hospital expense, and improve the nursing satisfaction, so it is worth being generalized.
