The Effect of Abdominal Massage on Discharge and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Enterally Fed Patients Connected to Mechanical Ventilation A Randomized Controlled Study

Özet

PurposeThe present research was conducted to reveal the impact of abdominal massage on enteral nutrition-induced ventilator-associated pneumonia and the gastrointestinal system in mechanically ventilated patients.Materials and MethodsThe present research is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. This study was completed with 63 patients (31 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group). Data collection was performed using a patient information form, a patient follow-up form, and the Bristol Stool Scale. After patients were under mechanical ventilation for 48 hours, the data collection tools were filled out twice a day for 3 days by visiting the mechanical ventilation patients. The experimental group received 15 minutes of abdominal massage twice a day before nursing care was delivered in the morning and the evening.ResultsAccording to the intergroup evaluations, the experimental group had lower gastric residual volume and abdominal distension, types of stool closer to normal, and higher defecation frequency. Differences between the groups were statistically significant (P < .05). In accordance with the intragroup evaluations, the experimental group had lower gastric residual volume, abdominal distension, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. The difference between the groups was revealed to be statistically significant (P < .05).ConclusionAbdominal massage reduces ventilator-associated pneumonia development to a statistically significant degree. Furthermore, it decreases gastric residual volume and abdominal distension, causes stools to be closer to the normal/ideal stool, increases defecation frequency, and regulates bowel movements and excretion (P < .05).
