NURSING EFFICACY OF ENDOVASCULAR -HYPOTHERMIA IN TREATMENT OF SEVERE BRAIN INJURY / 现代医院

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of endovascular -hypothermia in treatment of severe brain injury.Methods 40 cases of severe brain injury were given the endovascular -hypothermia treatment and the basic treatment accordingly.The time to reach target temperature and the stability to maintain target temperature were observed.The patients'ICP at different points were recorded .The cases were estimated by Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) before and after treatment and their complications during treatment were observed .Results The time to reach target temperature was (136 ±42)min and only (6.20 ±1.68)% of the measurement time deviated from target tempera -ture.ICP was reduced as the temperature fell and maintained in normal range after re -warming process.The ICP af-ter treatment was significant difference (p <0.05).The GCS was also significant higher after treatment than before (p <0.05).The complications of the patients were fewer and can be controlled after corresponding treatments .Conclu-sion In the endovascular -hypothermia treatment, the time to reach target temperature was short and the stability to maintain target temperature was strong.The endovascular -hypothermia treatment can reduce patients 'ICP and improve their awareness.There was no serious complication during treatment .This treatment can be safe and reliable.
