Filter by:Aim: Postoperative ileus after cesarean section is a problem that significantly prolongs hospital stay and increases perioperative costs. The ability of postoperative fennel tea consumption to produce bowel movement is unclear and needs to be studied. This study aimed to determine the effect of chewing gum and drinking fennel tea on intestinal motility after cesarean section. Methods: The study was conducted in postnatal care wards between January 2018 and April 2018. Simple randomization was used to assign women to the study arms. Data were collected during Pregnancy Constipation Diagnostic Scale, Data Collection and Follow-up Form were collected.
Although many measurement techniques have been tried for intra-abdominal pressure, the Kron technique is currently the gold standard method. However, the search for other methods continues due to its long application time, the need for more equipment, and impracticality. Consequently, the investigators sought to investigate a quicker and more accessible method suitable for successful intra-abdominal pressure measurement in the emergency department. This study aimed to compare intra-abdominal pressure measurements in patients diagnosed with ileus using a digital manometer and the Kron Technique.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative low-residue diet on postoperative ileus in women undergoing elective cesarean section. It is a surgeon-blind, randomized controlled trial enrolling pregnant women at ≥39 weeks of gestation undergoing elective cesarean section. Patients were preoperatively randomized to receive either low-residue diet (arm A) or free diet (arm B) starting from three days before surgery. The primary outcome was the postoperative ileus at 24 hours after surgery. The secondary outcomes were the postoperative pain (assessed through VAS scale), the quality of the surgical field (scored using a 5-point scale, from poor to excellent), postoperative complications, and the length of hospital stay. Perioperative data were collected and compared between groups.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare approaches to enterostomy reversal by hand-sewn end-to-end anastomosis versus side-to-side anastomosis (sub-divided into hand-sewn side-to-side anastomosis and stapled side-to-side anastomosis). The main question it aims to answer is: • If either of the approaches are better than the other with respect to success rates, efficacy, post-operative complications and overall morbidity. Participants admitted for stoma reversal will be divided into two groups: 1. EE: Conventional Hand-sewn end-to-end anastomosis, and 2. SS: Side-to-side anastomosis, which will be further divided into 2 sub-groups: 1. HSSA: Hand-sewn side-to-side anastomosis 2. SSSA: Stapled side-to-side anastomosis Researchers will compare the EE group to SS group overall, and a second comparison will be made between EE, HSSA and SSSA groups, to see: 1. Rates of major post-operative complications 2. Rates of short-term complications (within 30 days of surgery) 3. Rates of re-operation 4. Post-operative length of stay in the hospital
A delay in the return of bowel function is a common occurrence after abdominal surgeries.1 The goal of this study was to test the effect of the combined use of chewing a gum and administering metoclopramide intravenously on the duration of this natural delay in the return of bowel function after abdominal surgeries. Patients were grouped into four: the first group received both gum and metoclopramide; the second group received only gum; the third group received only metoclopramide, while the fourth group (the control group) received sterile water for injection. The groups were compared for the time taken for bowel function to return and the duration of hospital stay.
Postoperative ileus (POI) is a significant complication after colorectal surgery, with reported incidence ranging from 10~30%, leading to increased morbidity, hospital length of stay, and thus medical cost. To determine the risk factors for POI is one of the key elements for Enhanced Recovery after Surgery protocol. Increased perioperative opioid usage has been proposed as an independent risk factor for postoperative ileus, as perioperative opioid minimization has proposed to be an effective measure to decrease the incidence of POI. Although opioids are widely used to attenuate stress during surgery, and represent the cornerstone of pain treatment, anesthesiologists are strive to minimize opioid use to decrease opioid-related GI side effects. In this study, the investigators aim to find out the general occurrence of POI in the laparoscopic colorectal surgery and the effects of the postoperative opioid usage on this outcome. The strategies of opioid minimization was also investigated.
The purpose of this study is to establish preliminary evidence of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of LB1148 for the treatment of return of gastrointestinal function and decrease Post-Operative Ileus in subjects undergoing elective bowel resection.
Postoperative ileus (POI), is an extensively known complication characterized by an impairment of normal gastrointestinal motor activity after abdominal surgery and may also occur after surgery at other sites due to non-mechanical causes. [1]. This clinical asset has been linked to prominent perioperative morbidity with the following financial burden owing to extended hospitalization [1]. Furthermore, POI can postpone adjuvant treatments, such as chemotherapy in patients who went through surgery for cancers. Abdominal tenderness and distension, nausea and vomiting, delay in the passage of flatus and stool, and intolerance to solid food are the prime symptoms of POI [1-3]. It is generally transient, but if prolonged, can cause surgical incision dehiscence, intestinal anastomotic fistula, abdominal cavity infection, intestinal ischemia, aspiration pneumonia, and other serious complications [4-6]. Hence, many clinicians have focused on averting POI. Many studies have analyzed preventive methods, such as preoperative mobilization of the patient, adequate pain control, gum chewing, epidural anesthesia, coffee consumption, and motility agents such as metoclopramide and alvimopan [7-15]. For all the manifold remedy approaches, POI maintains a difficult clinical challenge that compromises the rapid improvement of patients who underwent abdominal surgery. Recently, thermal attempts have been employs for several situations such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic pelvic pain, and abdominal pain [16]. It may be used in two different ways; whole body or local. Local thermal therapy can be carried out by hot pack or paraffin [17]. It has been demonstrated that local thermotherapy abate myotonia, enhances circulation, and eases pain by expediting the removal of the pain-producing substance. Local thermal therapy is widely used for a number of conditions such as pain, nausea, vomiting, and some bowel diseases in traditional Chinese medicine [18].
Point-of-care gastric ultrasound will be used to measure stomach contents postoperative in patients who underwent colorectal surgery. Stomach volume and status (empty or full) will be compared retrospectively to the standard clinical criteria for diet advancement to determine if stomach volume via ultrasound is associated with successful diet advancement, nausea/vomiting, nasogastric tube replacement, length of stay, and other clinical outcomes. Clinicians performing clinical care will be blinded to the ultrasound exam results.
The Effect of Rocking Chair Movement on the Start of Bowel Functions in Patients With Gastrointestinal System Surgery The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study in patients with open gastrointestinal tract surgery in order to evaluate the effect of rocking chair movement to be given in addition to standard care in the initiation of postoperative bowel functions (post-operative first time gas, first time defecation).Ethics committee and institution permissions and written consents of individuals were obtained prior to the study.The universe of the study was composed of patients with open gastrointestinal surgery lying in the general surgery service of a hospital in Eskisehir. With the error margin of 0.05, 90% test power, 30 people in intervention and control groups, 60 patients in total will be included in the research.Appointment of patients to intervention and control groups was done by stratification and block randomization method according to gastric and intestinal surgery.The draw method was used to assign stratified patients to blind technique intervention and control groups in order to avoid side-holding, and an equal number (blocking) patients were assigned to each group. The individuals in the intervention group in the rocking chair three times a day, 20 minutes, a total of 60 minutes after the first day after surgery. The individuals in the control group will sit in a standard chair in the same time as the intervention group in the non-rocking chair. The data will be collected using the "Descriptive characteristics determination form", "Intervention Group Intestinal Functions Evaluation Form" and "Control Group Intestinal Functions Evaluation Form".
