Application of enteral nutrition support based on the concept of rapid rehabilitation in patients with esophageal cancer after operation

Objective To observe the application of enteral nutrition support based on the concept of rapid rehabilitation in patients with esophageal cancer after operation. Methods A total of 60 patients with esophageal cancer were enrolled in our hospital(from January 2017 to September 2019). They were randomly divided into control group(30 cases) and experimental group(30 cases). Among them, patients in the control group received enteral nutrition support intervention under the concept of conventional nursing, while those in the experimental group received enteral nutrition support intervention based on the concept of rapid rehabilitation. Before and after the intervention, the nutritional index, immune function index, postoperative recovery, the incidence of complications and the satisfaction rate of patients with nursing intervention were compared between the two groups. Results The nutritional indexes of the two groups were significantly improved after intervention, and the level of nutritional indexes in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group(all P<0.001). After the intervention, the level of immune response index in the two groups increased, and the level of immune response index in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group(all P<0.001). The patients in the experimental group were less than those in the control group(all P<0.01). The incidence of complications in the experimental group was 6.67%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group(26.67%), χ²=4.320, P=0.038. The total satisfaction rate of the patients in the experimental group was 100.00%, significantly higher than that in the control group(76.67%), χ²=5.822, P=0.016. Conclusion Nutritional support nursing intervention based on the concept of rapid rehabilitation can significantly improve the nutritional index and immune function of patients, shorten the recovery time of patients, reduce the incidence of complications during hospitalization, and improve the satisfaction of patients with nursing.
