Objective To analyze the causes of unplanned extubation of nasogastric tube in cerebral apoplexy patients in neurology department, and investigate the nursing measures.
Methods Ninety stroke hospitalized patients with nasal feeding tube indwelling from January to December 2017 were selected as research subjects, and were given routine nursing. A total of 105 stroke patients undergoing nasogastric tube retention in neurology department from January to December 2018 were selected, given other nursing measures based on the routine nursing. Unplanned extubation rates of two years were compared.
Results Unplanned extubation occurred in 23 cases in 2017, and 9 cases in 2018. The unplanned extubation rate was 25.56% in 2017, which showed a difference compared to 8.57% in 2018(P < 0.05).
Conclusion Various nursing interventions could reduce the unplanned extubation rate of nasogastric tube in stroke patients.
