Perioperative meticulous nursing in patients undergoing general anesthesia: a randomized controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
Perioperative meticulous nursing combined with anesthesia recovery nursing can significantly improve the quality and safety of anesthesia recovery in patients with digestive system diseases undergoing general anesthesia surgery, and is beneficial for stabilizing core body temperature and reducing stress responses.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with digestive system diseases undergoing surgery under GA, August 2024 to October 2024
- Participants
- 90 patients
- Comparison
- Perioperative meticulous nursing vs routine perioperative nursing
- Observationn = 45
- Controln = 45reference
- Primary endpoint
- Quality of anesthesia recovery (time to recovery of spontaneous breathing, recovery of consciousness, endotracheal extubation, full awakening)
Methodological detailssingle-centre
- Single-centre
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Times to recovery of spontaneous breathing, consciousness, extubation and full awakening
- Significantly shorter in the observation group vs control (all p < 0.05)
Further findings
Core body temperature at T1, T2, T3
- Lower than T0 in both groups but significantly higher in the observation group vs control (p < 0.05)
Serum adrenaline (AD), norepinephrine (NE) and cortisol at extubation
- Higher than pre-induction in both groups but significantly lower in the observation group (p < 0.05)
SAS and SDS scores after intervention · within 24 h postoperatively
- Decreased in both groups, significantly lower in the observation group (p < 0.05)
Nursing satisfaction
- Significantly higher in the observation group vs control (p < 0.05)
Safety
Adverse events: PONV, hypothermia, shivering, agitation
- Incidence significantly lower in the observation group (p < 0.05)
