Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of modified early warning score (MEWS) for formulating nursing interventions plan in intensive care units (ICU) trauma patients.Methods A total of 114 cases from ICU trauma patients were randomly assigned to observation group and control group with 57 cases in each group.Observation group received sub-level care according to modified early warning score,while the control group received traditional care measures,the differences of complications and hospitalization time in two group were compared.Results The incidence of complications in observation group was lower than that in control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05 ).The respiratory-related complication (pulmonary infection,respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome) ratio in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group (P＜0.05).The stay time in ICU in observation group was shorter than that in control group [ (8.19 ±7.40) days vs ( 11.28 ± 8.65 ) days],and the difference was statistically significant ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Sub-level trauma care according to the modified early warning score for ICU trauma patients can effectively reduce the respiratory-related complications and the ICU stay time.
