Objective:
To explore the efficacy of nerve injury unit mode and conventional management mode for the treatment of patients with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Methods:
Eighty patients with TBI in our hospital from July 2016 to December 2017 were included as observation groups (Treated with injury unit mode). Eighty-three patients with TBI from January 2015 to June 2016 were included as control group (Treated with conventional management mode). The incidence of complications, satisfaction rate, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores, Barthel index (BI), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores and average length of hospital stay of 2 groups were compared.
Results:
Observation group achieved lower incidence of complications, higher satisfaction rate, higher GCS scores, higher GOS prognosis scores, higher BI, lower NIHSS scores, and shorter average length of hospital stay compared with control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the average hospitalization cost between 2 groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusion:
For patients with TBI, the nerve injury unit mode can reduce the incidence of complications, improve patient satisfaction rate, shorten the hospitalization time, enhance the daily living ability, improve the patient's neurological function, improve the ability to return to society and have a significant role in promoting the rehabilitation of patients.
