Effect of detection of cardiac markers on patients with acute coronary syndrome / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate changes in cardiac markers and its effect on instructing nursing of patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods 100 ACS patients from cardiology department and CCU were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. The control group was given routine care. the observation group was given intervention according to positive results of cardiac markers. Some indexes such as B-type natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, cardiac troponin I, and EKG, congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock as well as appraisal of patients and relatives to nurses were compared between the two groups. Results The observation group was better than the control group in subsequent indicators: B-type natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, cardiac troponin I,EKG, congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock, and appraisal of patients and relatives to nurses was also better than the control group. Conclusions Detection of cardiac markers not only has significance for diagnosis, risk stratification and prognosis of ACS, but also help to instruct nursing of ACS patients. It has an important role in raising the nurses ability to identify risk factors and take effective measures to reduce complications and mortality, improve satisfaction degree of patients and their family members.
