Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Lumber continued drainage of cerebrospinal fluid after Key-hole approach operation and craniotomic hematoma elimination on the prognosis of hypertensive in-tracerebral hemorrhage patients. Methods Lumber continued drainage of cerebrospinal fluid after Key-hole ap-proach operation was conducted on 38 hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage patients. At the 1st month and 6th month after operation, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), Glasgow outcome scale (GOS), Barthel index, language barrier degree evaluation and sports function barrier degree evaluation were measured. The therapeutic effects were observed and compared with 34 patients who were operated by craniotomic hematoma elimination. Results GCS was 6.8± 2.1,6.6±2.3 before operation and 10.5±2.5,8.7±2.2 one week after operation in experimental group and con-trol group respectively; GOS was 3.4±0.3,2.8±0.2 one month after operation and 4.1±0.6,3.2±0.4 six month after operation in experimental group and control group respectively; Bartherl index, language barrier degree and sports function barrier degree were 63.15±11.64,51.76±12.81 and 1.7±0.3,2.3±0.2,2.0±0.3, and 2.6± 0.4 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Lumber continued drainage of cerebrospinal fluid after Key-hole approach operation offers greater help in improving the patients' quality of existence, by which the neurological function recov-ers faster and the patients recover well.
