Implementation of a clinical nursing pathway for percutaneous coronary intervention

BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction is a very common disease in the emergency room. Emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the first choice to open infarct-related artery in time to regain the active blood flow of myocardial tissue. Clinical nursing pathway (CNP), namely clinical project, is an original nursing mode with good quality, outstanding efficiency, and low treatment spending, so it has attracted more and more attention. However, few studies have reported the implementation of a CNP in PCIs. The purpose of the protocol is to assess the impact of CNP on the clinical efficacy of transradial emergency PCI. METHODS: This is a randomized controlled, single center trial which will be implemented from January 2021 to June 2021. Hundred samples diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction will be included in this study. It was authorized via the Ethics Committee of Changshan County People's Hospital (CCPH002348). Patients are assigned to the following groups: control group, given normal routine care; CNP group, treated with CNP plan. The time from door to balloon, hospitalization expenses, length of stay, postoperative complications, patients' satisfaction with treatment are compared and analyzed. All data are collected and analyzed by Social Sciences software version 21.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL) program. RESULTS: Differences of clinical outcomes between groups (). CONCLUSION: This original evidence-based nursing model can be used as the foundation for further research. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: researchregistry6030.
