Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(18):17-19
Objective To explore the methods and results of early comprehensive rehabilitation care of post-stroke aphasia. Methods 75 patients with post-stroke aphasia were randomly divided into the early rehabilitation care group, the delayed rehabilitation care group and the control group with 25 patients in each group. The control group received routine neurological treatment and nursing, while the early and delayed rehabilitation care groups were given psychological nursing and health education based upon rou-tine nursing. Chinese Rehabilitation Research Center Standard Aphasia Examination (CRRCAE) was used for assessment before and after the rehabilitation care among the three groups and then the results under-went comparison. Results After rehabilitation intervention, the early and delayed rehabilitation care groups were significantly different from the control group in listening, understanding, repeating, oral expres-sion, recitation and reading. The ability of listening, understanding, repeating, oral expression, recitation and reading in early rehabilitation care group improvod more greatly than those of the delayed rehabilitation care group. Conclusions Comprehensive rehabilitation nursing intervention can promote verbal function of patients with stroke aphasia. Earlier intervention care has more obvious effect.

Objective To study the effects of using the nursing intervention during the course of cure patients with depression after the stroke. Methods Divided 127 patients with depression after stroke into the treatment group(63 cases) and the control group(64 cases) randomly,the general nursing intervention and the traditional nursing measures were adopted respectively in the two groups.Compared the effects of treatment between the two groups by the questionnaires. Results Results The effects of treatment in the treatment group were significant better than those of in the control group. Conclusion The general nursing intervention can effective improve the depression of patients with stroke,and then ameliorate their quality of life,shorten the time of recovery.

Objective To evaluate the effects of rehabilitation training according to Brtmnstrom stage on ability of daily life (ADL) and motor function of stroke patients. Methods 120 bemiplegia patients who suf-fered from stroke were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 60 cases in each group. Both groups received routine cerebrovascular medicine treatment and routine nursing, the observation group received rehabilitation training according to Brannstrom stage(including body position,simple kinesithera-py,daily life exercise), psychological nursing and health guidance. The motor function and ADL were as-sessed respectively by Brurmstrom assessment and Barthel index before and 4 weeks after training using rank test. Results Brurmstrom stage and ADL of the observation group were better than those of the control group after rehabilitation training. Conclusions Early rehabilitation training according to Bnmnstrom stage can obviously improve the recovery of motor function and ADL as well as life quality of stroke patients.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of severe or critical 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) patients.Methods:Clinical data of 58 patients with severe or critical NCP in Wuhan Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 29 to February 26, 2020 were collected. The general information, clinical symptoms, results of blood test and chest computed tomography (CT) imagings, treatments and outcomes of patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Among the 58 patients, 36 patients (62.1%) were severe and 22 (37.9%) were critical, 28 (48.3%) were male and 30 (51.7%) female, with an average age of (62.12±12.95) years. Twenty-eight patients (48.2%) had previous underlying diseases, including 21 patients (36.2%) with hypertension, 11 patients (19.0%) with diabetes mellitus, 6 patietns (10.3%) with coronary heart disease, 2 patients (3.4%) with chronic renal failure, and 1 patient (1.7%) with malignant tumor. The symptoms included fever (54 cases, 93.1%), dyspnea (48 cases, 82.8%), cough (46 cases, 79.3%), muscle soreness (32 cases, 55.2%), sore throat (15 cases, 25.9%), and diarrhea (6 cases, 10.3%). Decreased or increased white blood cell count was found in 7 patients (12.1%) and 6 patietns (10.3%). Decreased percent of lymphocyte, increased percent of neutrophil, and decreased hemoglobin level were found in 35 patients (60.3%), 27 patients (46.6%), and 24 patients (41.4%), respectively. Elevated CRP, PCT and D-dimmer level were demonstrated in 38 patients (65.5%), 36 patients (62.1%), and 45 patients (77.5%). Increased level of ALT, AST, LDH and decreased serum albumin were found in 32 patients (55.2%), 25 patients (43.1%), 39 patietns (67.2%) and 43 patietns (74.1%), respectively. The main features of CT imaging were diffuse lesion in both lungs, which were mainly manifested as multiple patchy shadows and ground-glass shadows, bilateral and peripheral distribution, consolidation and interlobular septal thickening. Twenty-nine patients (50.0%) were treated with antibiotics, and 14 patients (24.1%) with systemic glucocorticoid. In addition to supportive and antivirus treatment, oxygen therapy methods including nasal catheter (9 cases, 15.5%), oxygen mask (33 cases, 56.9%), high-flow nasal catheter (8 cases, 13.3%) and invasive mechanical ventilation were adopted. Twenty-one patients (36.2%) were discharged from the hospital, 27 patients (46.6%) in remission were still in the isolation wards, 3 patients (5.2%) were transferred to the ICU for further treatment, and 7 patients (12.1%) died.Conclusions:Severe and critical NCP are at higher risk in the elderly and those having underlying diseases. Severe/critical NCP patients often show extrapulmonary abnormity as well as lung dysfunction. Comprehensive treatment as early as possible is the key to improve the prognosis and reduce the mortality.
