Purpose: To find the effects of semi-Fowler¡¯s position on the post-operative recovery for patients with laparoscopic abdominal surgery in recovery room.
Method: The research was performed by nonequivalent control group non-synchronized quasi-experimental design. The subjects are forty patients who had laparoscopic abdominal surgery in a hospital from Aug. thru Nov. of 2003. Post-recovery scores and O2 saturation degree were measured. The experimental group was place in semi fowler¡¯s position while the control group was placed in supine position. The homogeneity between the control group and experimental group was analyzed using the Chi-square, and the hypothesis were tested using t-test.
Result: 1. The patients in the experimental group placed in semi fowler¡¯s position showed significant higher post-recovery scores than those in the control group who were in a supine position. 2. The patients in the experimental group who were in semi Fowler¡¯s position showed no significant higher O2 saturation degree than those in the control group who were in supine position.
Conclusion: Based on the results described above, it is considered that the semi-Fowler¡¯s position might be effective in enhancing the post-operative recovery score of the patients with laparoscopic abdominal surgery in recovery room.
