Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the treatment and nursing care for intracranial aneurysm in elderly patients. Methods67 patients aged over 60 with intracranial aneurysm were reviewed. ResultsThe outcome was well (Glasgow Outcome Scale scores, 4～5) in 50 cases, and poor in 17 cases(Glasgow Outcome Scale scores, 1～3)．The median of time staying in hospital was 19 d in patients accepted surgery, and 11 d in the patients accepted intervention (P<0.05)． The preoperative Hunt-Hess grade was related with the outcome (P<0.05). ConclusionThe Hunt-Hess grades and the location of aneurysms are related with the outcome, but the treatment of surgery or intervention is not.
