The Effect Of Coffee And Tea Drink On Gis Functions Healing Quality After Surgery in Patients Surgery

Surgical interventions can be large or small, planned or urgent, but they have physiological and psychological effects on people. The most obvious physiological effects on the patient are: deterioration of organ functions and vascular system, change in body image, activation of stress-alarm reaction. Another of these physiological effects and the most common one is the changes in the gastrointestinal system. Postoperative ileus, which is defined as the temporary deterioration of gastric motility, causes pre- and postoperative diet restrictions, administration of anesthetics/narcotics, delay in gastric emptying as a result of excessive use of isotonic solutions, and slowing down in bowel movements due to excessive touching of the intestines, especially in abdominal and pelvic surgeries. It is known that current approaches and evidence-based practices regarding treatment and care in surgery can accelerate post-surgical recovery and reduce surgery-related deaths. In this direction, one of the evidence-based applications that has emerged to accelerate post-operative recovery is Enhanced Recovery After Surgery - ERAS, also known as Fast Track Surgery (FTS) protocol. With these new approaches, it has been proven that the time between the onset of bowel movements and the first gas formation is shortened, wound healing is accelerated, infection rates are reduced, and hospital stay is reduced. One of these approaches is coffee consumption in the postoperative period. Coffee is a popular beverage and its effects on general health, the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system are well known. Caffeine is a moderate central nervous system stimulant, and these effects are mediated by adenosine receptors. It acts as a potential antagonist of adenosine receptors in the nervous system. Caffeine and adenosine molecules are similar molecules. Caffeine binds to adenosine receptors, thus reducing the effectiveness of adenosine. As a result, we feel the stimulating effect of caffeine at the highest level. It has been observed that consuming more than 7 cups of coffee per day increases gastric secretion. It is also known that coffee increases bowel movements in healthy people. In a study conducted with patients who underwent laparoscopic orectal surgery, it was determined that bowel movements started 3 hours earlier than the patients in the control group and stayed one day less in the hospital. However, in the literature review, it is observed that there are very limited studies on this subject.

In the literature review, early oral feeding, mobilization and gum chewing were found to be effective in preventing paralytic ileus after abdominal and laparoscopic surgery, increasing patient comfort and shortening hospital stay. However, studies examining the effect of coffee consumption on bowel movements and hospital stay in the early postoperative period are very limited.

Based on this information, this study was planned to evaluate the effects of Turkish coffee and fennel tea drinking on GIS functions and healing quality in patients who underwent laparoscopic laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.
