178 - Language Arousal & Thermal Insulation Nursing: MAP/SPO2/NRS/ADRs in Elder Spinal Fracture Surgery

Description:

Objective: To evaluate the effects of language awakening nursing and thermal insulation nursing on anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing spinal fracture surgery.

Language arousal

Methods: Randomized control method was used in this study, 200 elderly patients who underwent spinal fracture surgery under general anesthesia between January and December 2022. Among the patients, 100 cases were selected as the observation group, and the other 100 cases were included in the control group by the random number table method. The control group was treated with thermal insulation nursing, and the observation group was given language arousal nursing (a type of care that helps patients regain consciousness after surgery or anesthesia) combined with thermal insulation nursing (A nursing method for maintaining a patient's body temperature in a medical setting).

Results: After the intervention, the observation group showed shorter extubation time, awaking time, eye opening time, and respiratory recovery time compared to the control group (P < .05). Systolic, diastolic, and MAP decreased in both groups after the intervention, with the observation group showing lower values (P < .05). Heart rate at 5 and 10 minutes after extubation decreased in both groups, with the observation group having a lower heart rate than the control group (P < .05). There were no significant differences in SPO2 between the groups after intervention (P > .05). The observation group reported milder pain and a lower incidence of anesthesia-related adverse reactions (P < .05). These findings suggest that language arousal nursing combined with heat preservation nursing improves anesthesia recovery in elderly patients
undergoing spinal fracture surgery, leading to better outcomes and reduced adverse events.



Conclusion: Combining language arousal and thermal insulation nursing enhances anesthesia recovery in elderly spinal fracture surgery patients, leading to optimized blood pressure, heart rate, reduced pain, and fewer anesthesia-related adverse events, Language arousal.
