The objective of this research is to explore the effect of intraoperative nursing care in the prevention and treatment of nursing complications, especially medication errors in patients undergoing radical resection of esophageal carcinoma. Adopting the controlled trial method, the study focuses on the intraoperative nursing of 3,000 patients undergoing radical resection of esophageal carcinoma in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2015. They are randomized into experimental and control groups according to the double-blind method. Each group has 1,500 patients. Routine nursing intervention is performed in the 1500 patients in the control group during surgery. Apart from routine nursing intervention, quality nursing interventions are added to the experimental group. Then, the effect of prevention and treatment of nursing complications of both groups is compared. According to the data obtained in the control test, the incidence of nursing complications of patients undergoing radical resection of esophageal carcinoma of the experimental group is significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). There are significant differences between the two groups; P is less than 0.05, and the difference is statistically significant. In summary, quality nursing service is recommended in intraoperative nursing in patients undergoing radical resection of esophageal carcinoma. With a high clinical value, it could effectively reduce the incidence of intraoperative complications and improve the quality of surgical care.
