“…But the fixation method of the transnasally inserted intestinal obstruction catheter differs from that of the common gastrointestinal decompression tube, and the proper fixation of its position is relevant to the treatment outcome. So, the fixation point needs to be adjusted daily to prevent the catheter from going deeper or dislodging [ 7 ]. Furthermore, intestinal obstruction is prone to complicate ionic disturbances and acid-base imbalance and also to cause a variety of adverse effects [ 8 ].…”

Objective. To explore the placement priorities and analysis of nursing countermeasures of transnasally inserted intestinal obstruction catheters in patients with acute small bowel obstruction (ASBO). Methods. One hundred and three patients with ASBO treated in our hospital from May 2016 to February 2022 were enrolled to this study. Patients who received individual nursing for transnasally inserted intestinal obstruction catheters were considered as the observation group (n = 59) and those who received traditional nursing were regarded as the control group (n = 44). The symptom relief time, daily gastrointestinal decompression, bowel sound recovery time, exhaust, defecation recovery time, and gas-liquid plane disappearance time were compared between both groups. The abdominal pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), and the psychology of patients was evaluated by self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). Patients’ clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse effects were counted, and quality of life was assessed using the short form 36 (SF-36) health survey questionnaire. Results. In the observation group, the improvement time of clinical symptoms and VAS, SAS, and SDS scores after intubation were lower than those of the control group, while the total clinical treatment efficiency was higher ( P < 0.05 ). As to the adverse effects, the observation group was lower than the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Also, the SF-36 scores were higher than those of the control group in all dimensions ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The individual nursing strategy implemented for the transnasally inserted intestinal obstruction catheter can effectively shorten the recovery of ASBO patients and improve their treatment outcome and prognosis quality of life.
