Application of improved whole course nursing on patients under cerebral angiography operation

Objective To observe the effects of improved whole course nursing care for patients under cerebral angiography operation.Methods 136 patients under cerebral angiography operation between January,2011 and March,2012 were selected for the study and randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 68 cases in each group.The comparison group was treated with traditional nursing care.Except the traditional nursing care,experimental group received improved whole course nursing care.Anxiety scores before and after the operation and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results According to the selfrating anxiety scale,there was no significant difference in preoperative anxiety scores ( t =0.08,P ＞0.05 )between two groups.However,significant difference was observed in postoperative anxiety scores,(11.05 ±2.46 )for the experimental group and (13.92 ± 2.43 ) for the control group (t=6.84,P ＜0.05 ).Postoperative complications were also found significant different between two groups,7.35％ and 33.80％ for the experimental group and control group respectively ( x2 =14.57,P ＜0.05 ).Conclusions Improved whole course nursing care can minimize side effects and fasting time, ease patients' anxiety, reduce stress responses and postoperative complications,increase the success rate of operations and enhance patients' degree of satisfaction.It is worth of clinic application.
