Objective:To investigate the effect of pre-operative fasting and water deprivation regimens on the nursing satisfaction and application in elective surgery children. Methods:One hundred children aged 6-14 years old admitted to the department of pediatric surgery were selected as the research subjects. They were randomly divided into control group and experimental group with 50 patients in each group. Traditional regimen of fasting and water deprivation was used in the control group. The new regimen of fasting and water deprivation developed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) in 2017 was conducted in the experimental group.The intraoperative conditions, pre-operative gastric fluid volume, gastric pH, blood glucose level, insulin level and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of thirst, hunger, anxiety and fatigue in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no differences in the incidence of intraoperative vomiting and aspiration between the two groups (P>0.05). The preoperative blood glucose level and insulin level in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, the differences being statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in preoperative gastric fluid volume and pH value between the two groups (P>0.05). The satisfaction rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion:The pre-operative fasting and water deprivation regimens for elective surgery children can improve the comfort, satisfaction and health status of the children, which is helpful for children to recover after surgery. |
