Effect of restraint strap with auxiliary lower limbs braking on sleep status of patients after global cerebral angiography

Abstract

Objective To observe the restraint strap with auxiliary lower limbs braking effect on sleep status of patients after global cerebral angiography. Methods A total of 400 patients, who performed with global cerebral angiography admitted at Department of Neurology, Chinese PLA General Hospital from January to August 2014, were randomly divided into observation group and control group, each with 200 cases. The patients in the control group maintained operative limb braking straight for 12 hours and then kept prostration for 24 hours, but the rest of body could move freely. The patients of observation group received the auxiliary brake application with lower limbs extremity restraint strap based on the care of the control group. Sleep status of the two groups were observed and compared. Results The patients in two groups suffered decreased quality of sleep, but the patient of observation group acquired (1.07±0.58), (1.02±0.89), (0.93±0.75), (0.90±0.96), (1.23±0.67) and (7.73±2.82) in the PSQI scores of each factor including sleep quality, bedtime, hour of sleep, sleep efficiency, dysssomnia and total PSQI score lower (1.43±0.97), (1.73±0.75), (1.40±0.89), (1.43±0.89), (1.53±0.68) and (9.13±4.13) in the control group (t=4.505, 8.627, 6.440, 5.726, 4.444, 3.959, respectively; P<0.05). Conclusions The usage of restraint strap after global cerebral angiography can decrease the incidence rate of sleep disorder, further promote the rehabilitation of patients, so widely clinical application should be taken into consideration.
