Abstract

BACKGROUND: The Heart Center at Phrapokklao Hospital has seen an increased number of cardiovascular catheterization service recipients, but has a limited number of inpatient beds. This results in longer waiting times for coronary artery catheterization procedures. Developing patient care models can increase access to appropriate services and encourage nurses to have standard nursing practices.


OBJECTIVES: To develop a model and study the results after using a same-day care model for patients receiving coronary angiogram transradial catheterization.


METHODS: This study used a research and development approach to examine a multidisciplinary heart disease center population at Phrapokklao Hospital, comprising 17 patients and 20 pre-arranged coronary catheterization patients. The procedure consists of studying and analyzing the care situation for patients undergoing same-day coronary artery bypass catheterization at the Heart Center at Phrapokklao Hospital. The researcher developed a new model. Content validity was assessed by experts. The format included patient assessment before, during, and after coronary angiography until discharge within 1 day, follow-up by telephone, and evaluation of subcutaneous hematoma from post-procedure photographs 24 hours later. The model was piloted and evaluated for the results of subcutaneous hematomas after 24 hours of cardiac catheterization, and the number of patients who could be discharged within one day. The waiting times for cardiac catheterization, before and after using the developed model, were compared. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney Test and content analysis.


RESULTS: Patients who received care according to this model did not develop hematomas under the skin of the wrist 24 hours after the procedure, accounting for 100%. Patients were successfully discharged within one day, accounting for 95%, and the waiting times for examination were comparable. During the same period in the previous year, the decrease was statistically significant (p<0.01).


CONCLUSIONS: The developed care model can be used as a guideline for patient care to meet increased standards.
