RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the impacts of the fast track surgery (FTS) concept on postoperative symptom improvement and complication incidence among lung cancer patients. Methods: 100 patients diagnosed with lung cancer after the detection of pulmonary nodules in the hospital (January 2020 to December 2021) were included as research subjects. 50 patients in the control group received routine nursing, while 50 patients in the experimental group underwent FTS nursing based on routine nursing. Preoperative and postoperative stress reactions, operation-related information, degree of pain, nursing satisfaction, and complications among included patients were summarized. Results: According to the results, the heart rate in the experimental group 72 hours after the operation was superior to that in the control group (P < .05). Levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group. The differences demonstrated statistical significance (P < .05). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the experimental group 12 hours after the operation was lower than that in the control group (P < .05). The length of hospital stays and chest drainage tube indwelling duration in the experimental group were shorter than those in the control group (P < .05). The degree of pain experienced by patients in the experimental group apparently reduced 3 days after operation (P < .05). The total incidence of complications in the experimental group was lower than that recorded for patients in the control group (P < .05). Nursing satisfaction in the experimental group was superior to that in the control group and the difference revealed statistical significance (P < .05). Conclusions: The study verified the safety and efficacy of FTS concept-based operation on patients with lung cancer.
