Effect of Low-Frequency Electric Pulse Technique Combined with Carboprost Methylate Suppositories on Recovery of Gastrointestinal Function and Postoperative Complications of Patients with Scarred Uterus Undergoing Secondary Cesarean Section

The study aims to explore the effect of low-frequency electric pulse technique combined with carboprost methylate suppositories on recovery of gastrointestinal function and postoperative complications of patients with scarred uterus undergoing secondary cesarean section (C-section). The clinical data of 120 patients with scarred uterus undergoing secondary C-section treated in our hospital from February 2019 to February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were equally divided into experimental and control groups according to their admission order, where each group included 60 patients. After the operation, patients in the control group received routine nursing and conducted breastfeeding, and carboprost methylate suppositories were used for postoperative hemostasis. Those in the experimental group received low-frequency electric pulse technique for comprehensive treatment to compare their coagulation function indicators, recovery of gastrointestinal function, incidence rates of postoperative complications, and involution of uterus. No significant between-group differences in patients’ general information such as gestational weeks, gravidity, and number of times receiving C-section were observed ( ). Compared with the control group after the operation, patients in the experimental group obtained significantly better coagulation function indicators ( ) and presented better gastrointestinal function recovery ( ), significantly lower incidence rates of postpartum hemorrhage, retention of urine, deep venous thrombosis of lower limb, rupture of uterus, and endometrial cavity fluid ( ), and significantly better involution of uterus ( ). In conclusion, combining low-frequency electric pulse technique with carboprost methylate suppositories can lower the incidence rates of postoperative complications for patients with scarred uterus undergoing secondary C-section, improve their coagulation function, promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and present the desirable involution of uterus, which should be promoted in practice.
