Abstract
Objective: To investigate the changes of standardised nursing observations for stroke in taking care patients with acute ischemic stroke at Stroke Center, 108 Military Central Hospital. Subject and method: A cross-sectional study. The changes of SNOBS within 6 first hours, the first day, the third day and the seventh day of patients with acute stroke and underwent intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), and or mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and the combination of IVT and MT from 8/2019 to 3/2020. Result: 101 patients were enrolled, mean of age was 65.8 ± 13.8, (male: 63.5%). SNOBS of patients undergoing IVT, MT and the combination of IVT and MT at the sixth first hour compared to the first time they admitted were fluctuated (p<0.05). The SNOBS of patients after treatment improved at the first day, the third day and the seventh day compared to the admitting time (p<0.05). The five key neurological signs of SNOBS at the first, the third and the seventh day comparing to admitted time indicated that arm movements improved (p<0.05).
