Abstract:Objective To study the effectiveness of pro-abdominal exercise in improving the quality of gastroscopy, and provide patients with a better preoperative preparation for gastroscopy.Methods 307 patients who underwent painless gastroscopy from March to July 2023 were selected and divided into three groups according to the random number table method. There were 106 cases in the abdominal massage group, 103 cases in the bed turning group and 98 cases in the control group. On the basis of routine medication, different preoperative activity guidance was used to compare and analyze the preoperative preparation time, examination time and gastric mucosal visual field clarity score in each group.Results The gastroscopy time in the abdominal massage group and the bed-turning group was significantly shorter than that in the control group, and the clarity score of the gastric mucosal visual field was significantly lower than that of the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences in the gastroscopy time or visual field clarity score for gastric body, gastric fundus, and gastric antrum between the abdominal massage group and the bed-turning group (P > 0.05). The satisfaction rate of endoscopists in the abdominal massage group and the bed turning group was higher than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant.Conclusion Abdominal massage and turning over in bed as preoperative preparation methods for gastroscopy can improve the quality of gastroscopy, while abdominal massage can shorten the preparation time before gastroscopy, which is helpful for the efficient operation of digestive endoscopy center and is worthy of clinical application.
