ABSTRACT: Objective: To retrospectively analyze the clinical utility of quantitative nursing measures of 10 cases of lower cranial nerves injury after cerebellopontine angle tumors surgery to provide the experience for improving the recovery rate and living quality of these patients. Methods: The clinical data of 10 cases of lower cranial nerves injury after cerebellopontine angle tumors surgery was analyzed. For problems such as dysphagia and dyspnea of these patients, the nursing care focused on strict monitoring, timely oxygen inhalation nursing, posture nursing, ventilator nursing, swallowing function training, etc. Results: After received quantitative care, 10 patients with lower cranial nerves injury after cerebellopontine angle tumors surgery were recovered well, and their symptoms such as dysphagia and dyspnea were gradually improved and safely discharged. Conclusion: Lower cranial nerves injury is one of the serious complications after removal of cerebellopontine angle tumors, which impacts the life and health of patients. Caregivers should accurately understand and analyze the symptoms, and quantitative and targeted nursing measures for posterior cranial nerves injury are helpful in the postoperative rehabilitation of patients and improve their living quality.
