Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing in prevention of pulmonary infection in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage

Objective To investigate the effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing in prevention of pulmonary infection in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Methods Totally 120 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were divided into control group (n = 60) and observation group (n = 60) according to different types of nursing care. Patients in the control group received routine care, and those in the observation group received TCM nursing on basis of routine care. The effective rate of nursing intervention between two groups was analyzed and compared. Results The total effective rate of nursing intervention in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (96. 67% vas. 73. 33%, P<0. 01). Conclusion In nursing management of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, the TCM nursing intervention is potentially effective to prevent the pulmonary infection and improve the nursing efficiency
