RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of Mepilex on pressure sores in patients at lateral position after craniocerebral surgery.Methods Toally 60 patients lying at lateral position after craniocerebral surgery were randomized into two groups in equal number with random digit table:the control group and experiment group.In the control group,Gel pad was used to prevent and treat the pressure sores and in the experiment group Mepilex was used between the compressed skin and operation table before setting the position.The skin conditions of the two groups were observed after operation.Result The prophylactic effect of pressure sore in the experiment group was significantly better than that in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Mepilex can prevent the skin pressure sores in the patients at lateral position after cerebral surgery.
RESUMEN
Objective To seek for the best clinical nursing pathway for early limbs activity of patients with high-risk hemiplegia in the department of cerebral surgery and to reduce limbs paralysis and improve their life quality.Methods Patients(112 cases)with high-risk bemiplegia in the department of cerebral surgery from January to December in 2007 were set as the experimental group.They took part in limbs early activity on the first day on admission with application of clinical nursing pathway.Patients(89 cases)of the same kind who took part in limbs activity from January to December in 2006 were set as the control group.The two groups were compared with Brunnstrom scale beth on admission and discharge.Results The Brunnstrom grade of upper limbs,hands and lower limbs of the experimental group was evidently higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Especially the isolated movement and coordination ability of the hands significantly increased(P＜0.01). Conclusions Early limbs activity with clinical nursing pathway for patients with high-risk hemiplegia in the department of cerebral surgery could reach the aim of recovery of limbs functional activity.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE To study the infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa after brain operation and drug-sensitivity.METHODS The system of BBLCrystalTM MIND-Crystal identification and Chinese software were used to identify P.aeruginosa.Drug-sensitivity was performed by K-B methods in accordance with NCCLS.RESULTS Totally 261 specimens were isolated from 126 patients during Mar to Dec 2005.From them 99 strains of P.aeruginosa were detected from specimens of 38 patients.There were 50 strains from phlegm,20 strains from suction in trachea,6 strains from urethral catheterization,8 strains from vein catheter,and 15 strains from wound excretion.Seventy seven strains(77.7%)were isolated during the peak period of May to August.Strains that were isolated in the same period possessed uniform drug-sensitivity results,which hinted epidemic of the same clone of P.aeruginosa in the Deparment of Cerebral Surgery.Drug-sensitivity results showed P.aeruginosa had been resistant to the common antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS Infection with P.aeruginosa after brain operation and drug resistance have already been serious,so we should think seriously of it.
