Effect of angiotensin Ⅱ and aldosterone in patients with congenital heart disease by preoperative nursing interventions at high altitude area / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ and aldosterone (ALD) in patients with congenital heart disease by preoperative nursing interventions at high altitude area. Methods 86 patients with congenital heart disease were divided into the experimental group and the control group on average by random. The experimental group was treated with preoperative nursing interventions and routine nursing before operation and the control group was treated with routine nursing only. Angiotensin Ⅱ and aldosterone were detected before anesthesia, 30min after operation and after pulling out of endotracheal tube respectively. Results The concentration of Angiotensin Ⅱ and aldosterone was significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group. Conclusions The risk of open surgical operation for congenital heart disease at high altitude can be reduced by preoperative nursing interventions.
