Methods: 96 patients with gastric tube indwelling in otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery from January 2021 to October 2021 in our hospital were selected as the subjects of this study. They were randomly divided into two groups by drawing lots. The control group was given routine care, and the observation group was given cluster management. The quality of life and the occurrence of unplanned extubation were compared between the two groups. Results: The scores of quality of life in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05); The incidence of unplanned extubation in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The application of cluster management to the patients with indwelling gastric tube in otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery can effectively reduce the occurrence of unplanned extubation, and has high clinical application value.
