ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of transitional care model (TCM) on the prevention of complications in patients with severe cerebral infarction. Methods Sixty patients with severe cerebral infarction were randomly divided into the experiment group and the control group, 30 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional nursing and the observation group received TCM. The two groups were compared in terms of the incidence of complications and re-admission rate. Result The incidence of complications and the rate of re-admissions in the experiment group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion TCM can reduce the incidence of complications in patients with severe cerebral infarction, lower the incidence of hospital admission, relieve the pain of patients and improve the quality of life of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the influence of the continuous airway humidification with microp-ump and the discontinuous dripping technique on patients. Methods Randomized grouping method was adopted, 25 cases with tracheotomy in the observation group used continuous airway humidification with micro-pump, 24 cases in the control group used dripping technique via airway for airway humidification. The two groups were compared retrospectively. Results The oxygen saturation rate in the observation group increased compared with that of the control group, sputum callus formation, irritating cough, airway bleeding and pul-monary infection was significantly lower than those of the control group. Condusious The effect of continu-ous airway humidification with micro- pump is superior to the traditional method of inconsistent endotracheal dripping, the former can also decrease nursing workload of airway humidification.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of cognitive training on patients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods 30 patients received cognitive function training based upon drug treat-ment. Patients were assessed with mini- mental state examination (MMSE) and functional independence measure(FIM) before and after treatment, the results went through t test. Results After training, cog-nitive function and self- care ability after treatment greatly alleviated compared with those before train-ing. Conclusions Cognitive training can improve cognitive function and self- care ability of patients with Alzheimer's disease and facilitate their life quality.
