On the 12th day after operation, the muscle strength of the observation group improved in 16 cases, unchanged in 10 cases and aggravated in 4 cases, which was better than that of the control group in 4, 14 and 12 cases. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=11.870, P=0.003). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.455,P=0.035). Conclusions? Early limb function exercise can improve the level of muscle strength and reduce complications after operation,which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective? To explore the effects of closed sputum suction, open-closed sputum suction and open sputum suction on intracranial pressure levels in patients with severe craniocerebral injury and mechanical ventilation when the head of bed elevated by 30°. Methods? Totally 36 patients who were admitted in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2016 to December 2017 and conformed to the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected consecutively by convenient sampling. The patients received closed suction (CS), open-closed suction (OCS) and closed suction (OS) as needed. The intracranial pressure (ICP) values shown on the intracranial pressure monitor were recorded at 2 min before, during and after suction as well as 5 min and 15 min after suction. Arterial blood was collected for blood gas analysis at 15 min before and after suction. The patients' partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) were also recorded. Results? The patients intracranial pressure increased when the three different suction methods were used. ICP values for OS, OCS and CS were (20.02±4.93), (16.00±4.82) and (16.08±4.42) mmHg, respectively (F=8.523,P＜0.01). There was statistical difference in ICP values at 2 min after suction between the patients received CS, OCS and OS (F=4.082,P＜ 0.05), but there was no statistical difference in ICP values at other time points between these patients (P＞ 0.05). There was no statistical difference in PaO2 and PaO2 values before and after suction using different methods (P＞0.05). Conclusions? When the head of bed is elevated by 30°, OCS and CS show small effects on ICP values in patients with severe craniocerebral injury and mechanical ventilation and do not affect the effects of sputum suction.

Objective? To explore the effects of bundle care protocols on artificial airway management in critical neurosurgical patients. Methods? Totally 100 critical neurosurgical patients with artificial airways from June 2017 to June 2018 were selected by convenient sampling and divided into the observation group (n=50) and the control group (n=50) according to the random number table. Patients in the control group received conventional nursing care, while patients in the observation group received bundle care. The pulmonary infection rate, comfort and average length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Results? The pulmonary infection rate of the observation group was 8%, while that of the control group was 24% (χ2=4.762, P＜ 0.05) ; the comfort rate of the observation group was 64%, while that of the control group was 30% (χ2=11.60,P＜ 0.01); the length of hospital stay of the observation group was (14.34±2.88) d, whereas that of the control group was (17.28±2.70) d (t=20.617, P＜ 0.01). Conclusions? The bundle care protocol can reduce the incidence of infection and the length of hospital stay and improve the comfort among critical neurosurgical patients.
