Objective To investigate effect of multifunctional consciousness disorder wake-up apparatus on promoting of wake-up in comatose patients in neurosurgery department.
Methods A total of 72 coma patients admitted to neurosurgery ward of the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University were selected and randomly divided into intervention group and control group, with 36 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given conventional treatment, those in the intervention group used multifunctional consciousness disorder wake-up apparatus on this basis of the intervention group, and were stimulated for 8 hours of treatment every day, they were given 20 minutes of stimulation every hour and 40 minutes of rest. The scores of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) were compared between the two groups at 1 week and 2 weeks after the intervention.
Results The GCS score of the intervention group was (7.89±3.81) at 1 week after treatment, and (10.29±1.45) at 2 weeks after treatment, which were higher than (6.46±2.67) and (8.41±2.59) of the control group (P < 0.05). The CRS-R score of the intervention group was (9.50±1.61) after 1 week of treatment, and was (11.7±1.20) in the intervention group after two weeks of treatment, which were higher than (8.56±1.67) and (9.11±1.59) of the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion The multifunctional consciousness disorder wake-up apparatus can improve the early unconsciousness in neurosurgical coma patients with stable vital signs, significantly shorten the time of coma, and is beneficial to the promotion of revival of comatose patients.
