About

Mechanical ventilation support is used to ensure airway clarity in patients after surgery.If patients are not informed about mechanical ventilation treatment in the pre -operation period, panic, anxiety and comfort may be experienced when they wake up from anesthesia and find them in intensive care under mechanical ventilation with various tubes and equipment. The separation from the mechanical ventilator (MV) covers the patient's mechanical support and the entire process of separation of endotrakeal tube.During the separation of the mechanical ventilator, the support of one of the patient members of the patient may increase the stress and comfort of the patient. Therefore, this research is planned

Full description

Intensive care nurses spend a long time with patients and observe them closely. Intensive care nurses in the MV separation process; plays a special and important role. Recently, family support has been used in patient care. An increase in anxiety and comfort levels is observed in patients receiving family support. This study was planned with the aim of supporting the patient by the family member during the separation of the patient from the mechanical ventilator after cardiac surgery and to evaluate the comfort and anxiety level of the patients.
