Abstract:
Fecal microbiota transplantation is an emerging treatment option that lacks a standardized nursing procedure. In our department, fecal microbiota transplantation has been undertaken to treat chronic hepatitis B and inflammatory bowel diseases since 2015. The fecal microbiota transplantation process involves various nursing measures that are critical for the successful completion of the procedures. In our center, a set of standardized nursing procedures has been established and has proved effective and operable. Standardized nursing procedures enhance the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation and alleviate the risk of treatment-related complications.
