Clinical observation of continuous nursing path to improve cardiac function in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of CCU continuous nursing pathway on improving cardiac function in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STAMI). Methods A total of 90 patients with STAMI admitted to the department from July to December 2016 were selected and were divided into observation group and control group according to the random control method, 45 cases of each group.The control group received routine nursing care.The observation group adopted CCU continuous nursing path. Cardiac function changes, CCU length of stay, reentry rate, and cardiovascular adverse events were compared between the two groups. Results After nursing, HR of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, LVEF was greater than that of the control group, and LVEDD was smaller than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The CCU duration and hospitalization time of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group, the CCU reentry rate was lower than that of the control group, and the hospitalization cost and cardiovascular adverse events were lower than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusions The CCU continuous nursing path can improve the cardiac function of STAMI patients, reduce the CCU reentry rate and cardiovascular adverse events, and promote patients' recovery.
