ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of new vomit-receiving device in department of neurosurgery. Methods A total of 44 patients with vomiting symptoms in our department in May 2015 were randomly divided into the observation group (n=23) and the control group (n=21). The observation group used a new type of vomit-receiving device to carry out vomiting nursing, while the control group was treated with conventional vomiting nursing. The number of cases of vomiting and the number of occurrence times were observed. Results Observation group of 23 cases with no vomit leaks occur, and the control group 21 patients vomit leaked out in 16 cases, the incidence of vomit were leaked by 72.73% (χ2=27.53, P < 0.01), vomiting leaked rate was 40.74% (22/54) (χ2 = 32.49, P < 0.01), including who prepared to receive tools but not timely for 16 times, receive tools leakage for 5 times, no enough capacity of receive tool for 1 times. The total score of patients′ satisfaction in the observation group was 78, while the total score of patients in the control group was 57. The difference was statistically significant (t=2.80, P＜0.01). The total nursing time of the observation group was 68 min, and that of the control group was 347 min,the difference was statistically significant (t=-5.73, P＜0.01).
