Analysis of blood pressure, heart rate, NIHSS score, GCS score of cerebral infarction patients with cerebral hemorrhage after recombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) therapy

Objective To analyze the blood pressure,heart rate,the US national institutes of health stroke scale(NIHSS) score,Glasgow coma scale(GCS) score for cerebral infarction patients with cerebral hemorrhage after recombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) therapy.Methods From April 2011 to April 2013,48 cases with cerebral infarction after intravenous rt-PA thrombolysis were collected.These cases were divided into two groups:the first group (32 cases):without cerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis; the second group (16 cases):with cerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis.The systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,heart rote,NIHSS score and GCS score were compared between the two groups before and after thrombolysis.Results After thrombolysis,the systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly increased in cerebral hemorrhage cases compared with before thrombolysis and patients without cerebral hemorrhage.After thrombolysis,the NIHSS score was significantly reduced in the cases without cerebral hemorrhage compared with that before thrombolysis,while the NIHSS score was significantly higher in the cases with cerebral hemorrhage compared with that before thrombolysis.After thrombolysis,the heart rate and GCS score showed no significant difference between the patients with and without cerebral hemorrhage.Conclusions The rising of systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and NIHSS score helps us determine the early cerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis in cerebral infarction patients.
