Unusual case of acute cerebral infarction due to large proximal ICA floating thrombus in the setting of severe COVID-19 infection

Prevention of limb function deterioration in patients with cerebral infarction by clinical nursing pathway management

Objective: To analyze the application effect of clinical nursing pathway in patients with cerebral infarction (CI) and its influence on the deterioration of limb function, so as to find effective prevention methods.Methods: A total of 80 patients with CI admitted to our hospital from November 2020 to May 2022 were included in the study. The subjects were divided into two groups based on different nursing interventions, with one group receiving clinical nursing pathway intervention, referred to as the nursing group (n = 40), and the other group receiving standard nursing care, referred to as the routine group (n = 40). The limb function, neurological function, mobility and quality of life before and after intervention were analyzed, and the incidence of safety endpoints after 3 months of follow-up was observed.Results: The results showed that before the intervention, there were no significant differences in each function and index of the study subjects (p>0.05). After the intervention, the limb function, neurological function, mobility and quality of life of the two groups were higher than those before the intervention, and the degree of improvement was higher in the nursing group (p<0.05). At the same time, the adverse events in the nursing group were significantly less than those in the conventional group (p<0.05).Conclusion: It is suggested that clinical nursing management pathway can significantly reduce the deterioration of limb function of patients with CI, improve their mobility and quality of life, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
