Do oral opioid antagonists and EA combined with chewing gum reduce the incidence of postoperative ileus in patients after abdominal operation?
Oral opioid antagonists and EA combined with chewing gum are the most effective interventions for preventing postoperative ileus after abdominal surgery.
This network meta-analysis determined that oral opioid antagonists and EA combined with chewing gum are the most effective treatments and optimal interventions for reducing the incidence of postoperative ileus. However, methods such as abdominal mechanical massage and coffee require further high-quality research.
Cui et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
