The control group is given conventional nursing care: ①Preoperative education, informing patients of the importance of the tube and the adverse effects of unauthorised extubation after the operation on the recovery of the disease. ②Pipe care: The nose wing is fixed with modified "human" elastic tape, and the same side cheek bridge is fixed to keep the duct unobstructed and pour gastric juice in time. ③Oral care: routinely brush teeth and gargle with mouthwash daily. ④Skin care: Observe the condition of the nose, cheek skin and oral and nasal mucosa. Replace the tape as needed, and clean the skin before fixing. ⑤ Pain care: assess the degree of pain, follow the doctor's prescription for medication, and observe the efficacy of medication. ⑥Psychological care: pay attention to the emotional changes of patients and provide psychological support.This group is planned to enroll 100 patients.

On the basis of conventional nursing, the experimental group adopted a precision nursing program of acupoint application combined with ear acupoint embedding.This group is planned to enroll 100 patients.

To study the effect of acupoint application combined with ear acupoint seeding on the discomfort symptoms of nasal catheter in patients after esophageal cancer surgery

From January to December 2021, 200 patients after esophageal cancer surgery with nasal catherterization in an affiliated hospital of Soochow will be selected as the research objects, and they will be divided into experimental group (100 cases) and control group (100 cases) by random number table method. The control group will receive routine nursing care, and the experimental group will implement a precision nursing program of acupoint application combined with ear acupoint embedding on the basis of the control group. The thirst, throat pain, comfort, sleep, and unplanned extubation rate will be compared between the two groups.

Study on the Effect of Acupoint Application Combined With Ear Acupoint Embedding on the Discomfort Symptoms of Nasal Catheterization in Patients After Esophageal Cancer Surgery

Unplanned extubation refers to the early withdrawal of the catheter due to various reasons before the end of the treatment. This study includes the partial or complete extubation of the patient during the catheterization period. The calculation formula: (The number of cases of unplanned extubation in the group/the number of patients in the same group during the same period) × 100%.

Thirst is assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the higher the score, the more severe the patients' thirst .

Thore throat is evaluated by NRS. The higher the score, the more severe the throat pain of the patient.

The comfort state is evaluated by Gnneral comfort questionnaire(GCQ). The scale includes 4 dimensions of physiology, psychology, spirit, social culture and environment, with a total of 28 items. The higher the score, the better the patient's comfort state.

Sleep is evaluated using Athens insomnia scale (AIS). The higher the score, the worse the quality of sleep.

Rectal cancer patients randomized to this group will have acupoint application with traditional Chinese medicine.

Rectal cancer patients randomized to this group will have acupoint application with placebo .

The acupoint application was made of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and the therapeutic effect was produced through the stimulation of TCM drugs and acupoints.

The placebo acupoint application was made of black beans and honey, which shares the similar shape and smell of the experiment group, applied at the same acupoints.

This study is to investigate the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on the postoperative recovery of rectal cancer patients.

The hypothesis is that TCM can decrease the postoperative complications for rectal cancer. So the study is to investigate the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on the postoperative recovery of rectal cancer patients. Patients enrolled in this study will be randomized into two groups with TCM intervention or placebo. The intervention will be described below. Primary endpoint is postoperative complications.

Patients enrolled are randomized into acupoint application group and placebo acupoint application group

Changes of traditional Chinese medicine symptoms: all symptoms were recorded by 10 simple questions and then will be categorized in 4 different groups. The aim of study tries to show the relationship with TCM application with the symptoms.
