Combined Effect of Early Physical Exercise and Stereotactic Hematoma Evacuation in Patients with Cerebral Hemorrhage Undergoing Hemodialysis.

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the combined effect of stereotactic hematoma evacuation and early postoperative physical function exercise in hemodialysis patients with cerebral hemorrhage.

METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted, including a total of 78 hemodialysis patients with cerebral hemorrhage treated at our hospital between January 2021 and June 2022. The patients were equally allocated to two groups based on different postoperative rehabilitation methods. The control group underwent stereotactic hematoma evacuation, while the study group received additional early postoperative physical function exercise in addition to the intervention provided to the control group. The operative conditions of both groups were recorded, and comparisons were made concerning neural function, limb function, daily activity ability, and complications.

RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and hematoma removal rate (P > .05). However, the study group demonstrated a significantly shorter hospital stay (12.98 ± 2.01 days) compared to the control group (15.02 ± 2.07 days), P < .05. Post-treatment, the study group exhibited substantially lower neurological function scores (NIHSS score) (6.37 ± 1.02) compared to the control group (10.03 ± 1.09), P < .05. Additionally, the study group showed significantly higher limb function scores (P < .05) and daily activity ability scores (P < .05) compared to the control group. Moreover, the incidence of complications in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < .05).

CONCLUSIONS: Early postoperative physical function exercise following stereotactic hematoma evacuation showed beneficial effects in hemodialysis patients with cerebral hemorrhage. It effectively reduced operation time, restored nerve and limb function, improved daily activity ability, and reduced the incidence of related complications. These approaches hold crucial clinical significance.
