This study was planned to determine the mobilization process and factors affecting this process in patients who underwent open heart surgery and were admitted to the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit.
Full description
Mobilization; It is defined as "standing up, walking, being able to move and walking around, especially after the operation, when the patient stands up and walks around". Postoperative mobilization is a basic human need and one of the basic principles of nursing care. In the postoperative period, with the delay of mobilization, the patient's insulin resistance increases, muscle weakness and muscle mass loss occur, problems in pulmonary functions are experienced and the risk of thromboembolism increases.
Surgery of patients admitted to cardiovascular ICUs after open heart surgery close monitoring afterwards, maintenance of cardio-respiratory functions, healing is supported. During care in the intensive care unit Preparation of materials that may be needed by the patient, general condition of the patient and vital information monitoring symptoms, performing breathing exercises, evaluating pain and management, monitoring fluid-electrolyte balance, monitoring hemodynamic parameters, surgical wound dressing, getting the patient up as soon as possible and in bed increasing mobility. In this process, while the mobilization process of the patients is planned, the patient's The general condition and tolerance regarding mobilization should be evaluated. patient's general Depending on the suitability of the condition, turning in bed, foot-leg exercises, deep breathing and gradual mobilization, such as cough exercises, sitting in bed, standing up, and walking inform the patient and the patient's family about the methods, plan the mobilization process, The patient should be evaluated before, during and after mobilization. Early postoperative mobilization is an important component of nursing care.
Early mobilization of patients after open heart surgery, although the recommendations to increase the mobility are getting stronger, the mobilization levels of the patients are still not at the desired level. Although studies examining the early mobilization process of patients after open heart surgery have been conducted so far, findings regarding the clinical factors affecting this process are very limited.
