Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To explore the impact of intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding combined with continuous nursing intervention on postoperative recovery in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 212 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage after surgery who were admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Yibin from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the control group (108 patients), who received intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding, and the observation group (104 patients), who received intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding combined with continuous nursing intervention. Clinical data, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and the Activity of Daily Living (ADL) scores, psychological status, nutritional indices (albumin, hemoglobin, transferrin), compliance, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the groups. RESULTS: Post-intervention, the observation group had significantly lower NIHSS scores and higher GCS, hemoglobin, albumin, transferrin, and ADL scores compared to the control group (all P < 0.05). Additionally, ESCA scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Nursing satisfaction in the observation group was 97.12%, compared to 83.3% in the control group (P = 0.033). CONCLUSION: Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding combined with continuous nursing intervention improves neurological deficits, reduces brain injury, and promotes recovery of motor function and daily living abilities in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage after surgery.
