Objective To study the nursing care of patients with traumatic cervical spine fracture combined with spinal cord injury, and to observe the application effect of rehabilitation nursing. Methods Based on the patients with traumatic cervical spine fractures combined with spinal cord injuries admitted to a hospital in recent years, 92 patients who visited between May 2022 and May 2023 were randomly divided into two groups using a double-blind computer method. Routine care was used as the control group, and rehabilitation care was used as the observation group. A comparative analysis was made on the nursing effect. Results The first time of getting out of bed and hospitalization time in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (p<0.05); Before nursing, spinal function (JOA) and pain severity (VAS) were evaluated, and there was no significant difference in scores between the two groups (p>0.05). After nursing, there was a trend of improvement, and the observation group had better JOA and VAS scores (p<0.05); The incidence of complications in patients (lower limb deep vein thrombosis, pressure ulcers, urinary system infections) was statistically analyzed. Compared with the total incidence rate (observation group: 2.17%, control group: 17.39%), it can be seen that the observation group has fewer complications (p<0.05). Conclusion For clinical nursing of patients with traumatic cervical spine fracture combined with spinal cord injury, the application of rehabilitation nursing has an ideal effect, improves spinal function, and is beneficial for preventing postoperative complications. It is worth promoting.
