Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of preference food stimulation combined with chewing gum chewing and lower limb functional exercise to optimize postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients underwent gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Patients were divided into food stimulation combined with chewing gum chewing and lower limb exercise group (FCL group) and chewing gum chewing and lower limb exercise group (CL group) according to the random number table method, there were 60 patients in each group. Food stimulation after gynecological laparoscopic surgery combined with chewing gum chewing and lower limb exercise for gastrointestinal function in FCL group; The patients after gynecological laparoscopic surgery were treated with chewing gum chewing and lower limbs to treat gastrointestinal function in CL group. The differences in the levels of plasma gastrin, the time of first gas and defecation, NRS score, and adverse reactions between the two groups were analyzed.Results 72 h after the operation, plasma gastrin was (350.75 ± 27.46) pmol/L in the FCL group, there was significantly higher than that in the CL group [(269.63 ± 14.96) pmol/L] (P < 0.05). The first exhaust and defecation time was (25.56 ± 2.46) h and (48.74 ± 5.97) h in the CL group, (16.74 ± 2.01) h and (34.95 ± 4.92) h in the FCL group, and the first exhaust and defecation time in the FCL group, there was significantly shorter than that in the CL group (P < 0.05). 24 h after the operation, the NRS score of the CL group was (5.83 ± 1.46), the FCL group was (3.17 ± 1.02). 72 h after the operation, the NRS score of the CL group was (4.74 ± 1.75), the FCL group was (2.13 ± 0.89), the FCL group was significantly lower than that in the CL group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the FCL group was 6.67%, there was significantly lower than that in CL group (25.00%) (P < 0.05).Conclusion The preference for food stimulation combined with chewing gum chewing and lower limb functional exercise is better than the chewing gum chewing and lower limb functional exercise.
