简要总结
Many factors in patients undergoing cranial surgery (CS) may affect the bowel evacuation of patients, resulting in constipation, which could lead to the use of the valsalva maneuver. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of abdominal massage (AM) on bowel evacuation of patients treated in intensive care units (ICU) after CS.
详细描述
The sample of this prospective parallel two-arm randomized controlled trial included 80 patients who underwent CS. The patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to the AM and control groups. The constipation risk of all the patients following CS was assessed with Constipation Risk Assessment Scale (CRAS). Those patients in the AM group received a total of 30 minutes of massage, 15 minutes every morning and evening, until the first defecation. The bowel sounds of all the patients in the AM and control groups were assessed on a daily basis. The days when bowel sounds were heard and the first defecation took place were recorded in a Bowel Evacuation Form.
