Abstract:

Objective: To explore the value of nutrition management under the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in perioperative patients with spinal tuberculosis. Methods: A total of 79 patients with spinal tuberculosis who were hospitalized and operated in the Department of Orthopaedics in the Beijing Chest Hospital during January to December 2021 were chosen and were randomly allocated into observation group (42 cases) and control group (37 cases) using random number table. Two cases in the observation group withdrew from the experiment halfway which left the group with 40 patients finally. Patients in the observation group were given perioperative nutrition management under ERAS concept, while those in the control group were given routine operation management. The nutritional risks of these two groups were observed at the time of admission, the 6th and 13th day after operation. Differences of serological test results at admission, the 1st, 6th and 13th day after operation were compared, as well as the differences of intraoperative and postoperative blood loss, drainage, extubation time, time of first gas and defecation. Results: On the 6th and 13th day after operation, among the observation group,70.0% (28/40) and 57.1% (20/35) had nutritional risk, which were lower than that in the control group (94.6% (35/37) and 81.8% (27/33), χ2=7.816, P=0.005; χ2=4.845,P=0.028). On the 1st day after operation, the average amount of WBC among the observation group was (9.99±3.12)×109/L, which was lower than that of the control group ((11.69±2.74) ×109/L, t=2.529, P=0.014). On the 6th day after operation, the average blood albumin in the observation group was (33.48±4.47)g/L, which was higher than that in the control group ((31.35±3.51)g/L, t=-2.310,P=0.024).The average uric acid level of the observation group was (274.67±116.91)μmol/L, lower than that in the control group ((339.19±115.79)μmol/L, t=2.416,P=0.018). The median (IQR) blood loss during operation in the observation group was 300.0 (175.0,500.0) ml, which was less than that in the control group (400.0 (250.0,600.0) ml, Z=2.098,P=0.036). Median (IQR) postoperative exhaust time and average defecation time in the observation group were 25.5 (15.5,37.5)h and (95.7±46.9)h, both of which were shorter than that in the control group (30.7 (21.5,44.5)h, (117.3±38.8)h, Z=2.050,P=0.040;t=2.140,P=0.036). Conclusion: The nutrition management under ERAS concept can effectively improve the nutritional status of patients with spinal tuberculosis and promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function thus help patients recover quickly.
