Objective: To compare the clinical effects of homemade gastrointestinal decompression fixation package with traditional fixation methods, and to evaluate its effects on the stability of pipeline fixation, skin injury risk, nursing burden and patient satisfaction. A total of 100 general surgery patients from a tertiary hospital were randomly divided into an observation group (50 cases using custom-made gastrointestinal decompression fixation packs) and a control group (50 cases using traditional methods). Both groups received nasogastric tubes connected to negative pressure drainage systems. The observation group utilized woven bag-supported fixation devices, while the control group had no special support. Key indicators included catheter slippage rate (6%,3/50), pressure ulcer incidence (4%,2/50), fixation device replacement frequency (1.2±0.6 times/person vs. 3.8±1.1 times/person), and patient satisfaction (98%,49/50 vs. 82%,41/50). Statistical analysis showed the observation group had significantly lower catheter slippage (6%,3/50) and pressure ulcer rates (4%,2/50) compared to the control group (30%,15/50). The fixation device replacement frequency was notably lower (1.2±0.6 vs. 3.8±1.1 times/person), while patient satisfaction rates were higher (98%,49/50 vs. 82%,41/50), all with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: Custom-made gastrointestinal decompression fixation packs effectively enhance catheter stability, reduce risks of tube dislodgement and skin injuries, minimize nursing workload, improve patient comfort and satisfaction, demonstrating clinical value for widespread adoption. However, further optimization of standardized production protocols, improvement of material biocompatibility, and exploration of intelligent monitoring functions are required to promote broader application.
