Esophageal carcinoma is one of the most common digestive tract malignancies and poses a serious health threat to patients. This study discussed the influence of stepwise nutrition management and comprehensive nursing on esophageal carcinoma patients, which can shed light on the future clinical treatment of esophageal carcinoma. A total of 107 esophageal carcinoma patients admitted to our hospital between July 2022 and June 2023 were divided into a control group (n = 54) that received conventional care and an experimental group (n = 53) that received stepwise nutrition management along with comprehensive care. The postoperative rehabilitation time and clinical efficacy of the two groups were statistically analyzed, and differences in nutritional status and physical fitness before and after care were determined. The results showed that the experimental group had a faster first postoperative anal exhaust, bowel movement, ambulation, and anastomotic healing time than the control group (P < 0.05). No marked intergroup difference was identified in the overall response rate (P > 0.05). In addition, better nutritional status and physical fitness were observed in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The experimental group exhibited a lower incidence of adverse reactions (P < 0.05) than the control group. These findings demonstrated the vital role of stepwise nutrition management in combination with comprehensive nursing for esophageal carcinoma patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research attempted to clarify the clinical impact of tiered nursing on the postoperative recovery and nutritional status of general surgery patients receiving nasogastric enteral nutrition support. Eighty patients undergoing surgery requiring nasogastric enteral nutrition support in the Department of General Surgery of Shengjing Hospital, affiliated with China Medical University, from June 2021 to June 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using computer-assisted drawing. Each group consisted of 40 patients. During the nutritional support period, the control group received conventional nursing, whereas the experimental group received tiered nursing care. The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions and serum albumin and prealbumin scores in the experimental group were lower than in the control group. The first postoperative time of exhaustion, defecation, oral intake, and overall length of stay was shorter in the experimental group than in the control group. The 36-Item Short Form Survey scores were higher in the experimental group than in the control group. In summary, tiered nursing intervention for general surgery patients receiving nasogastric enteral nutrition support can maintain postoperative gastrointestinal comfort, shorten gastrointestinal function recovery and overall recovery times, and elevate postoperative quality of life.

We have examined the influence of early postoperative nutritional nursing on the prognosis of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. A total of 82 patients with gastrointestinal surgery were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2020 and December 2022 for this study. The patients were divided into two equalsized control and treatment groups. The control group received routine care, whereas the treatment group received added nutritional care. Compared to the control group, the first exhaust time, first defecation time, and hospitalization time in the treatment group were shorter (P < 0.01). On the 7th day after surgery, no difference was found in the levels of albumin and total protein between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, on the 4th and 7th days after surgery, the diamine oxidase and malondialdehyde values in the treatment group were lower relative to the control group. Body weight in the treatment group was higher, the incidence of complications was lower, and the quality-of-life score and immune function were better compared to the control group (P < 0.05). To sum up, early nutritional care is beneficial to improving the immune function indexes, nutritional indexes, and quality of life of patients after gastrointestinal surgery, as well as reducing the occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions.

We have examined the influence of sequential enteral and parenteral nutrition support, assisted by nutritional risk screening, on colorectal cancer patients undergoing radical surgery. This cohort included 100 colorectal cancer patients receiving radical surgery in Zhejiang Quzhou People's Hospital between May 2021 and April 2022. The control group received treatment with early enteral nutrition support only. The experimental group, however, received sequential enteral and parenteral nutrition support, assisted by nutritional risk screening. The indicators of nutrition adequacy, gastrointestinal function, early postoperative complications, and quality of life were compared. The albumin, hemoglobin, and albumin levels presented no difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, these indicators in the experimental group were elevated relative to those in the control group. The time of bowel sound recovery, the time of first anal exhaustion, time of first defecation, and the incidence of surgical complications in the experimental group decreased relative to those in the control group. A 36-item short-form health survey showed an elevation in the experimental group relative to the control group. Application of sequential enteral and parenteral nutritional support assisted by nutritional risk screening in colorectal cancer patients has a significant effect, which helps improve postoperative nutritional status, facilitate gastrointestinal function recovery, reduce incidence of complications, and accelerate postoperative recovery.
