Abstract

Cerebral aneurysm is a complex, severe neurological crisis. When aneurysm ruptures, it can cause bleeding from artery into subarachnoid space that negatively affects the brain. The patients have high risk of death and disability. Close monitoring, quick and proper treatment, using the nursing process correctly and completely in every step will save them from complications or reduce the impact of them. The patients can quickly recover and discharge from hospital with good quality of life. In this study, which about nursing care of Rupture Aneurysm with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage compares 2 patients. One is a 52-year-old male with re-bleeding after surgery, cerebral vasospasm causing delayed cerebral ischemia. Another one is a 46-year-old female with meningitis complication from surgical wound infection. The results illustrate that utilizing the nursing process include closely assessing neurological deterioration, monitoring of re-bleeding, providing post-clipping care, preventing cerebral vasospasm, and promoting recovery produce good outcome. These can keep patients safe from crises and good quality of life.
