Objective  To investigate the effect of early postoperative rehabilitation-enhanced nursing for hepatic carcinoma patients with open surgery.

  Methods  A total of 35 patients with open surgery receiving early rehabilitation-enhanced nursing were selected as observation group, and another 30 hepatic carcinoma patients with open surgery receiving routine nursing in our department were as control group. Gastrointestinal function were compared between the two groups.

  Results  The gastrointestinal motility time, exhaust time, defecation time, normal diet time, transfusion time, and length of hospital stay of the observation group were (16.25±3.42) h, (25.21±5.63) h, (68.12±6.35) h, (2.31± 0.75) d, (6.02±1.23) d, (10.21±2.37) d, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (20.51±4.25) h, (48.24±15.32) h, (80.47±12.81) h, (4.15±1.57) d, (8.45±2.62) d, (14.36±3.47) d, respectively, in the control group(P < 0.05). Serum albumin at 5 d after surgery was(35.15±3.92) g/L, which was significantly higher than (32.02±3.98) g/L in the control group, the levels of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase were (186.52±45.76) U/L, and (100.54±29.58) U/L, respectively, which were lower than (250.21±55.53), (140.26±31.05) U/L, respectively, in the control group(P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  Early rehabilitation-enhanced nursing can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function and improve the liver function of hepatic carcinoma patients with open surgery.
