Objective To explore the effect of nursing intervention for brain protection in patients with emergency cardiac arrest after resuscitation under hypothermia therapy. Methods A total of 90 patients who received emergency cardiac arrest resuscitation in our hospital from April 2023 to April 2024 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group using the random number table method, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, while the observation group received additional nursing intervention targeted at hypothermia therapy on the basis of routine nursing. Indicators including neurological function recovery, incidence of complications and length of hospital stay were observed and compared between the two groups. Results The neurological function recovery of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group, the incidence of complications was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the length of hospital stay was also shorter than that of the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Effective nursing intervention for hypothermia therapy can significantly improve the brain protection effect of patients after emergency cardiac arrest resuscitation, promote neurological function recovery, reduce the incidence of complications and shorten the length of hospital stay, which is worthy of wide promotion and application in clinical practice.
