摘要

目的 探究婴幼儿太极按摩对提高早产儿消化能力临床疗效。方法 选取岑溪市人民医院新生儿科在2020年01月至2024年2月间收住的早产儿作为研究对象，随机选取80例30-34周的早产儿分为观察组和对照组各40例，对照组予早产儿常规护理，观察组在常规护理下在进行婴幼儿太极按摩，治疗后对两组早产儿消化道症状、体重变化以及进食量与排便次数进行比较。结果 （1）两组早产儿消化道症状比较：呕吐、腹胀、胃潴留消化道症状对比，观察组优于对照组，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）；消化道出血、坏死性小肠结肠炎症状对比，差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。（2）两组早产儿吸吮情况比较：观察组优于对照组，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。（3）两组早产儿体重、奶量、排便次数比较：差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。结论 婴幼儿太极按摩可减轻早产儿消化道症状（呕吐、腹胀、胃潴留）、增强早产儿吸吮能力。

Abstract

Methods Preterm infants admitted to neonatology Department of Cenxi People's Hospital from January 2020 to February 2024 were selected as the study objects, and 80 preterm infants aged 30-34 weeks were randomly selected and divided into observation group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received routine care for preterm infants, and the observation group received Tai chi massage for infants under routine care. After treatment, gastrointestinal symptoms, weight changes, food intake and defecation times were compared between the two groups.
Results (1) The gastrointestinal symptoms of the two groups were compared: vomiting, abdominal distension and gastric retention, the observation group was better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); There was no significant difference between gastrointestinal bleeding and necrotizing enterocolitis symptoms (P > 0.05). (2) Comparison of the sucking conditions of premature infants in the two groups: the observation group was better than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). (3) There was no significant difference in weight, milk volume and defecation frequency between the two groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusion   Taiji massage for infants can alleviate the gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, abdominal distension and gastric retention) and enhance the sucking ability of preterm infants.
