Analysis of Clinical Effects of Comprehensive Nursing Based on Enhanced Recovery after Surgery in Patients with Embolization for Intracranial Aneurysms

Abstract

Objective. This research sets out to elucidate the clinical effect of comprehensive nursing based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients with embolization for intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Methods. This study enrolled 119 patients with embolization for IAs in the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2020 to January 2021 and divided them into two groups according to the perioperative care they received: a control group ( $n=39$ ) treated with routine perioperative nursing and an observation group ( $n=80$ ) treated with ERAS-based comprehensive nursing. Surgical indicators, neurological function (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score; Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) score), anxiety and depression (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score; Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) score), incidence of adverse events, and patient satisfaction were compared. Results. The observation group had better surgical indicators and lower scores of NIHSS, SSS, SAS, and SDS than the control group, accompanied by a lower incidence of adverse events and higher patient satisfaction. Conclusions. ERAS-based comprehensive nursing can better promote patients’ neurological recovery after embolization for IAs, relieve unhealthy emotions (depression, anxiety, etc.), and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, facilitating patient discharge.
