Enhanced Recovery Nursing Model Cuts Hospital Stay for Gastric Cancer

Gastric cancer patients benefit significantly from an enhanced recovery nursing model during the perioperative period.

  • Postoperative stay was 7.2 days in the new model vs. 10.5 days with traditional care (p < 0.001).
  • Complications occurred in only 10% of patients using the new model compared to 26.7% in the control group (p = 0.013).
  • Time to first flatus was reduced by over 12 hours, and patient satisfaction soared (92.5 vs. 80.2 points, p < 0.001).

Consider adopting this model to enhance recovery and outcomes in your gastric cancer surgery practice.
