The effect of position change on vital signs, back pain and vascular complications following percutaneous coronary intervention

摘要: Aims and objectives To determine the effect of position change that is applied after percutaneous coronary intervention on vital signs, back pain vascular complications. Background In order to minimise postprocedural complications, patients are restricted prolonged bed rest always accompanied by haemodynamic instability. Design Randomised-controlled quasi-experimental study. Methods The study sample chosen for this included 200 who visited a hospital in Turkey between July 2014-November 2014. Patients were divided into two groups randomisation. control group (CG, n = 100) put supine position, which head (HOB) was elevated 15°, patient's leg side kept straight immobile; positional experimental (EG, 100). Results After procedure EG, systolic blood pressure (T4-T6), rate complications (1%) scores significantly lower (between T5-T6) than CG, also, lowest level standard fowler's 6th hr wherein HOB 45-60°. Conclusions It found at levels when 45-60° result clinically significant decreased without causing any Relevance clinical practice Low 15-30° could be safe applicable nurses procedure.
