Nimarta, Neena Vir Singh, Shruti, Rajesh Gupta Abstract Postoperative i limits early hospital discharge fo patiets who had undergone abdominal surgery Literature indicates that chewing gum is evaluated as a convenient method to enhance postoperative recovery from postoperative ileus after abdominal surgery. The present st was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of chewing gum on bowel motility among patient who had undergone abdominal surgery with null hypotheses that significant difference in early return of first bowel sound, passage of flatus and return of appetite with the administration of chewing gum. A total of 60 patients who underwent elective abdominal surgery with general anaesthesia were participated in the study. Each patient was assigned purposively to one of two groups Experimental group (n 30). The tools and protocol were developed through review of relevant literature and validated by experts from field of nursing and department of General Surgery. Tools used in the study were interview schedule and check list to assess the bowel sounds, passage of first flatus and return of appetite. The patients in the experimental group as perplanned protocol were administered e passage f first flatus. The times of the return of the first bowel sounds, passage of first flatus, retum appetite was recorded in checklist. Patients with severe postoperative haemorrhage, intraoperative and postoperative complications requiring emergency intervention, history abdominal blunt trauma perforation etc were excluded from this study. Bowel sounds were checked by a single person. The mean duration of return of first bowel sounds, passage of first flatus and return of appeti significantly shorter in the experimental group as compared to the control patients as per t tes Hence the null hypotheses was rejected. No adverse effects were observed with chewing gum in the postoperative period and it is a safe method to stimulate bowel motility and reduce the postoperative
Postoperative ileus (POI) is a very common and unavoidable outcome of major abdominal surgery, primarily due to poorly multifactorial pathophysiology, that may lead to significant patient morbidity, and common reason for gastroenterological consultation.
