Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the primary treatment for acute calculous cholecystitis. Although rapid recovery nursing is commonly implemented in postoperative care, its effect on acute calculous cholecystitis after LC remains unclear.
Aim: To analyze the impact of rapid recovery nursing in patients with acute calculous cholecystitis undergoing LC.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with a total of 120 patients with acute calculous cholecystitis who underwent LC at our hospital between October 2023 and October 2024. The patients were divided into two groups with 60 patients in each group according to the different nursing methods: Conventional nursing and rapid recovery nursing groups. Data was recorded from the electronic medical records. Gastrointestinal recovery, pain, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups before and after nursing.
Results: Following nursing intervention, the visual analog scale scores on Days 3 and 7 post-surgery in the rapid recovery nursing group were notably lower than those of the conventional nursing group (P < 0.05). The rapid recovery nursing group experienced significantly reduced times for bowel sound recovery, getting out of bed, hospital stay, passing flatus, and first defecation compared with the conventional nursing group (P < 0.05), thereby experiencing significantly better quality of life and nursing satisfaction (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Rapid recovery nursing effectively promoted the recovery of gastrointestinal function, reducing pain and improving the quality of life of patients who underwent LC for acute calculous cholecystitis.
