RESUMO
Objective To determine the effects of early taste stimulation care in comatose patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI). Methods Sixty patients with severe STBI who had been in coma for more than 6 hours and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scored 5-8,were divided into two groups according to random digit table. The control group received conventional care, while the taste stimulation group received both conventional care and early taste stimulation intervention.They were assessed according to GCS at 10, 20 and 30 days after treatment. Results After the intervention, the GCS scores in the taste stimulation group were higher than those of the control group after 20 days (10.70±0.48 vs 8.65±0.58, t=2.714, P<0.05) and 30 days (11.70 ± 0.49 vs 9.60 ± 0.57, t=2.792, P<0.05). Conclusions Early taste stimulation care has a certain wake-promoting effect on comatose patients with STBI.
RESUMO
The system construction and work flow of automatic oral drug dispensing system(AODDS) in our hospital are introduced,its' advantages and disadvantages of the application are analyzed.After applying AODDS,drug dispensing speed and accuracy are significantly increased.AODDS is conducive to promote hospital pharmaceutical care and pharmacy quality administration.The application of AODDS in our hospital may be referred for other hospitals to select AODDS.
