Effects of oral fluid in post-anesthesia care unit under ultrasound monitoring on postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract
Objective To explore the impact of early oral rehydration under gastric ultrasound monitoring on the postoperative recovery quality of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted, dividing 94 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia into an intervention group (early oral rehydration under ultrasound guidance, n = 47) and a control group (traditional fasting and no drinking, n = 47). The primary outcome measures included the Quality of Anesthesia Recovery, postoperative thirst degree, and the time to first flatus. Secondary outcome measures included the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and postoperative hospital stay. Safety measures included the cross-sectional area and volume of the antrum, and the occurrence of aspiration, reflux, and aspiration pneumonia. Results The QoR-15 score was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (136.0 vs. 114.0, p < 0.001). The thirst NRS scores at 2 h, 6 h, and 24 h postoperatively were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (p < 0.001). The recovery time of gastrointestinal function in the intervention group was 4 h shorter than that in the control group (median time: 9.10 h vs. 13.10 h, p < 0.001). The incidence of PONV was reduced by 21.27% (10.64% vs. 31.91%, p = 0.011). The median postoperative hospital stay in the intervention group was shortened by 1 day (3.0…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 94 participants or records.
