Abstract:Objective To discuss the application effect of camellia oil in oral nursing of patients with coma.Methods The clinical information of 80 patients with coma treated in our hospital from February 2016 to September 2019 were analyzed.The patients were divided into the control group (n=40) and the observation group (n=40) by the random paper method.The care using sterile normal saline was given to the control group, and the care using camellia oil was given to the observation group.The evaluations of the oral mucosa, the fungal culture of throat swabs and the care effect before and after care in the two groups were observed.Results There were no statistically significant differences in positive percentages of the oral malodor, the redness and swelling or congestion of oral mucosa, the white attachment on oral mucosa, or the fungal culture of the white attachment before care between the two groups (P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the percentage of redness and swelling or congestion of oral mucosa after care between the two groups (P>0.05).The positive percentages of the oral malodor, the white attachment on oral mucosa, or the fungal culture of the white attachment in the two groups after care were lower than those before care, the positive percentages of the oral malodor, the white attachment on oral mucosa, or the fungal culture of the white attachment in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, the overall response rate after clinical care in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, with statistical differences (P<0.05).Conclusion The application of camellia oil in oral nursing of patients with coma can improve the oral environment and reduce the incidence of oral infection, which is worthy of popularization and application in clinical practice.
