Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of throat spray of Kangfuxin solution on relieving the discomfort of pharynx in patients undergoing gastrointestinal decompression for acute pancreatitis. Methods 〓Totally 80 patients undergoing gastrointestinal decompression for acute pancreatitis were assigned to the control group and the observation group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received aerosol inhalation of dexamethasone solution, and the observation group was given throat spray of Kangfuxin solution. To assess discomfort of pharynx at day of catheterization, 2 days after catheterization, day of catheter withdrawal and 2 days after catheter withdrawal, and to compare the oropharyngeal complications, unplanned catheter withdrawal and satisfactory degree of patients between two groups. Results 〓At 2 days after catheterization and the day of catheter withdrawal, there were fewer patients in the observation group with hoarseness, foreign body sensation, difficulty in sputum excretion, limited neck movement compared with those of the control group(P0.05). The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)on pain was lower in the observation group than that of controls at 2 days after catheterization, day of catheter withdrawal and 2 days after catheter withdrawal(P0.05). The incidence of oropharyngeal complications was lower in the observation group than that of controls(P0.05). Patients of the observation group were more satisfied with the safety and convenience of the intervention(P0.05). There was no unplanned catheter withdrawal observed in both two groups(P0.05). Conclusion 〓The throat spray of Kangfuxin solution is effective to relieve the discomfort of pharynx in patients undergoing gastrointestinal decompression for acute pancreatitis.
