The Nurse’ s Role in Promoting Bowel Function Recovery after Abdominal Surgery
Keywords:
Abdominal surgery, Bowel function recovery, Bowel ileusAbstract
Abdominal surgery is one type of surgical procedure aimed to diagnose or treat abnormal organs in the abdomen or pelvis. Currently, the most common negative outcome of this surgery is postoperative bowel ileus. This condition necessitates a key role and responsibility for nurses for postoperative nursing care. Many methods of nursing care are agreed upon with the goal of speedy recovery of the patient post operation. In this way, nurses should know and understand about postoperative bowel ileus, the recovery stages of the gut, its pathophysiological mechanism, as well as other healing factors, clinical, signs, symptoms and prevention. This ongoing education should be applied using multimodalities of best practices, to efficiently promote bowel function recovery after abdominal surgery.
