Abstract
Objective: To retrospectively analyze the clinical utility of quantitative nursing measures of 10 cases of lower cranial nerves injury after cerebellopontine angle tumors surgery to provide the experience for improving the recovery rate and living quality of these patients. Methods: The clinical data of 10 cases of lower cranial nerves injury after cerebellopontine angle tumors surgery was analyzed. For problems such as dysphagia and dyspnea of these patients, the nursing care focused on strict monitoring, timely oxygen inhalation nursing, posture nursing, ventilator nursing, swallowing function training, etc. Results: After received quantitative care, 10 patients with lower cranial nerves injury after cerebellopontine angle tumors surgery were recovered well, and their symptoms such as dysphagia and dyspnea were gradually improved and safely discharged. Conclusion: Lower cranial nerves injury is one of the serious complications after removal of cerebellopontine angle tumors, which impacts the life and health of patients. Caregivers should accurately understand and analyze the symptoms, and quantitative and targeted nursing measures for posterior cranial nerves injury are helpful in the postoperative rehabilitation of patients and improve their living quality.
Highlights
To retrospectively analyze the clinical utility of quantitative nursing measures of 10 cases of lower cranial nerves injury after cerebellopontine angle tumors surgery to provide the experience for improving the recovery rate and living quality of these patients
For patients complicated with lower cranial nerves (LCNs) injury, taking corresponding quantitative nursing measures according to the severity of symptoms should be considered an effective approach to treating LCNs injury after Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors surgery
Reviewing 121 patients treated in the Department of Neurosurgery of our hospital with CPA tumors from January 2016 to December 2020, there were 10 patients complicated by LCNs injury postoperatively
Summary
With the development of surgical technology, the surgical treatment of CPA tumors based on micromanipulation has been more and more valuable Postoperative complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, meningitis, and lower cranial nerves (LCNs) injury are mainly caused by accidental injury during electrocoagulation or traction during separation, and characterized by dysphagia, dyspnea, and other symptoms [3] are still impossible to neglect. Reviewing 121 patients treated in the Department of Neurosurgery of our hospital with CPA tumors from January 2016 to December 2020, there were 10 patients complicated by LCNs injury postoperatively. We found that they all achieved satisfactory results with good prognoses after the application of formulated quantitative nursing strategy.
