Abstract
Objects: (1) Survey the characteristics of acute complications in severe stroke patients treated at stroke Center, Hue Central Hospital; (2) Evaluate the effectiveness of patient care in prevention and treatment of acute complications after stroke.
Subjects and method: A prospective study is conducted on 100 severe stroke patients with Glasgow score at hospitalization 5 - 12 . The rate of complications of pneumonia, pressure ulcers, malnutrition, hyperglycemia were 14%, 5%, 6% and 12% respectively. All patients ware given with comprehensive and personalized care with the high rate of good functional outcome (29%). Besides, all discharged patients were free from pneumonia and malnutrition, pressure ulcer ratio was lowered to 1% and 42% of those with hyperglycemia achieved normal glycemic index and no longer required insulin.
Result: The effectiveness of nursing care was reflected in the low mortality (5%).
