ABSTRACT
Objective To study on the effect of nttrsing intervention on coping with fatigue in patients with cervical spine fracture and high paraplegia.Methods 46 patients who suffered cervical spine fracture with paraplegia were divided into the control group and the intervention group with 23 patients in each group randomly.The control group received routine care in general,while the intervention group was given additional systematic nursing intervention by full-time nurses.The brief fatigue inventory(FSI),as fatigue assessment tools,was used to assess the fatigue of patients in the two groups before invention and 20 days after invention respectively.Results As a result,we found that the difference of fatigue between the two groups had no prominent significance before intervention,but after invention the difference had prominent significance.Conclusions The nursing intervention is very important for patients with cervical spine fracture and paraplegia and has significant advantages to alleviate or eliminate patients' fatigue and improve their quality of life.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of early enteral nutrition on stress ulcer in patients with severe craniocerebral injury.Methods 134 patients with severe craniocerebral injury were randomly divided into two groups,the early enteral nutrition group (the EEN group,69 cases) was given nasogastric intubation feeding after hospitalization or within 24 hours postoperation,the delayed enteral nutrition group (the DEN group,65 cases) was given nasogastric intubation feeding 24 hours postoperation.The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in two groups were compared.Results The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the EEN group was significantly lower than that of the DEN group.Conclusions Patients with severe brain injury should be given enteral nutrition as soon as possible to reduce the occurrence of stress ulcer and prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
