Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of different ways on patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during defecation so as to provide references for nurses to direct them to take appropriate and effective defecation measures and reduce occurrence of complications arising from defecation. Methods 50 patients with AMI were randomly divided into experimental group (25) and control group (25); the experimental group adopted a bedside position, while the control group took a traditional prostration position.Throughout the defecation, echocardiogram and blood pressure werecontinuously monitored, and defecation duration, whether or not solved, defecation exertion, level of comfort in two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in terms of defecation duration between the control group and the experimental group, while there were significant differences concerning whether or not solved, the defecation exertion, level of comfort between the two groups (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions Taking the prostration position was not the best way and could not effectively reduce the occurrence of complications; taking the bedside position during defecation is proved to be a more appropriate and scientific alternative way for patients who remained in the early stage of AMI without serious complications and with stable hemodynamics.
