Popis: Objective: Patients with craniocerebral injury usually accompanied by intracranial hypertension and vomiting, which affect the effect of CT scanning. The aim of this study was to discuss the application effects of gastrointestinal decompression on computed tomography (CT) examination for patients with craniocerebral injury. Methods: A total of 80 patients with craniocerebral injury in our hospital were randomly selected and divided into control and observation groups, 40 cases in each group. The observation group was given gastrointestinal decompression before the CT examination, while the control group received routine examination. The success rate of CT examination, CT scanning effect, examination, and complication during scanning were recorded and compared in two groups. Results: The one-time success rate (100.0%) of CT examination was 100.0% (40/40) in the observation group was significantly higher than the rate in the control group (82.5%, P = 0.034). The CT examination clearly showed in the types of craniocerebral injury, the brain tissue injury, the ventricular compression and the midline displacement. The CT examination time of observation group was shorter than that of control group (P < 0.001), while there was no significant difference in the whole examination time spent on both gastrointestinal decompression operation and CT examination between the two groups (P = 0.301). In the observation group, there was only 1 case of retching, and no cases of vomiting or aspiration during scanning. The incidence of various complications in observation group was significantly lesser than the incidence in control group (P = 0.034). Conclusions: Continue gastrointestinal decompression can significantly reduce the incidence of vomiting and other complication in patients with craniocerebral injury during CT examination, reduce the CT examination time, and improve the success rate of one-time scanning.
