To investigate the impact of ERAS-based refined nursing on early postoperative activities, specifically focusing on ambulation and recovery metrics.
Key Findings:
ERAS group had significantly earlier ambulation and higher walking distances at 24 h and 48 h (P < 0.001).
Enhanced postoperative recovery with earlier gastrointestinal function and reduced length of stay (LOS) (P < 0.001).
Lower incidence of postoperative complications, including pulmonary infection and DVT, in the ERAS group.
Significant reductions in postoperative pain and analgesic pump usage in the ERAS group.
Higher nursing compliance and patient satisfaction in the ERAS group.
Interpretation:
ERAS-based refined nursing significantly improves early mobilization, enhances postoperative recovery, and reduces complications after lung cancer surgery, aligning with ERAS principles.
Limitations:
Retrospective design may introduce bias, affecting the reliability of the findings.
Single-center study limits generalizability to broader populations.
Conclusion:
ERAS-based refined nursing is associated with improved early mobilization and recovery outcomes in lung cancer surgery patients.
