Effectiveness of chewing gum in reducing paralytic ileus in post-abdominal surgery patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-02-17) Rojas Carbajal, Jackeline Lorena; Félix Chauca, Shirley Lissetty; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa María
Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the use of chewing gum in reducing paralytic ileus in patients after abdominal surgery. Materials and Methods: The systematic review of the 11 scientific articles found in the following databases: Epystemonikos, Pubmed, Medline, Ebsco. They allowed us to find 11 scientific evidence. The search has been restricted to articles with full text and the selected articles were subjected to critical reading, using the Grade System evaluation to identify their level of evidence. Within the 11 evidence, the type of research is 64% (n=7/11) systematic review and 36% (n=4/11) are meta-analysis. Results: In the final selection, 11 articles were chosen, the parameters being the flatulence time, the time of passage of bowel movements and length of hospital stay. In which we found that 81.9% (9/11) of the evidence is effective in reducing paralytic ileus in patients after abdominal surgery. 18.1% (2/11) show to be discordant because they did not have a significant effect on hospital stay in post-operated patients. Conclusions: 9 of the 11 articles reviewed showed that chewing gum is effective in reducing paralytic ileus in post-abdominal surgery patients.

Efficacy of chewing gum to improve intestinal function in postpartum cesarean patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-11-03) Alejos Suares, Mónica Dominga; Gonzales Oyola, Beatriz Leishle; Uturunco Vera, Milagros Lizbeth
Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of chewing gum for improving intestinal function in post-cesarean patients. Materials and Methods: Systematic reviews are an observational, descriptive, and analytical study design that synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations. They are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology. Results: Authors of the reviewed articles agree that chewing gum is effective in improving intestinal function in post-cesarean patients, aiding in the quick recovery of intestinal function, reducing hospital stay, and being low-cost and easy to administer. Similar findings were observed in other Latin American and European studies on post-cesarean patients. Conclusion: Of the evidence reviewed, 8/10 studies show that chewing gum aids in the early recovery of intestinal function, the elimination of gas, the passage of the first stool, and shortens the hospital stay in post-cesarean patients. Chewing gum for 30 to 60 minutes, at least three times a day, reduces the incidence and consequences of postoperative ileus (POI) after cesareans. Two studies show that chewing gum is a useful and effective strategy but did not find a significant effect on hospital duration; further research is suggested.
