Effect of Early Nursing Intervention under Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalography and Magnetic Resonance Images on Brain Injury in Premature Infants

To investigate the effects of early nursing intervention on brain injury among premature infants, 100 premature infants diagnosed with brain injury were included in the research and randomly divided into the control group (50 cases) and the experimental group (50 cases). The patients in the two groups were performed with the same conventional comprehensive treatment. The patients in the control group received conventional nursing while those in the experimental group underwent early nursing intervention. During follow-up, neurodevelopment, motor behavior, the incidence rate of brain injury, and nursing satisfaction of the infants in the two groups were compared. It was demonstrated that the five neurodevelopment scores of the experimental group were all higher than those of the control group. The differences showed statistical significance ( P < 0.05 ). The total effective rate of motor development of the experimental group reached 94%, while that of the control group amounted to 80%. Obviously, the total effective rate of motor development of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The nursing satisfaction of the experimental group reached 98%, which was apparently higher than that of the control group (74%). The difference suggested statistical significance ( P < 0.05 ). The rates of brain injury at 1 and 2 years after the birth of the experimental group were 6% and 2%, respectively. The rates of brain injury at 1 and 2 years after the birth of the control group amounted to 18% and 14%, respectively. The rates of brain injury at 1 and 2 years after the birth of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group. The difference revealed statistical significance ( P < 0.05 ). Hence, the early nursing intervention of premature infants with brain injury could promote brain development, improve neurological function, reduce the incidence of brain injury, and achieve an ideal nursing effect.
