    Insights

    This study analyzed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Thailand, finding a 92.5% success rate. The data provides crucial insights into PCI patient characteristics and outcomes in the Thai population.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a standard treatment for coronary artery disease.
    • Limited data exists on PCI demographics and outcomes specifically within Thailand.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate patient characteristics, procedural details, and outcomes of PCI in the Thai population.
    • To establish a baseline understanding of PCI practices in Thailand.

    Main Methods:

    • The Thai Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Registry (TPCIR) collected data from 27 hospitals between May and October 2006.
    • A web-based registry captured key variables including demographics, risk factors, indications, outcomes, and complications for 4,156 patients.

    Main Results:

    • The study enrolled 4,156 patients, with 69.2% males and an average age of 62.7 years.
    • Indications for PCI included ST-elevation myocardial infarction (14%), non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (37.3%), and stable coronary artery disease (48.7%).
    • PCI success rate was 92.5% for lesions, with 12% in-hospital complications.

    Conclusions:

    • This nationwide, multi-center study provides the first comprehensive data on PCI in Thailand.
    • The overall PCI procedure success rate was confirmed at 92.5%.

    Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

    Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
    A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

    Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

    Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

    Coronary Circulation01:21

    Coronary Circulation

    The heart, an organ critical to survival, gets nourishment not from the blood it pumps but from a separate circulation system known as coronary circulation. This is the shortest circulation in the body and is responsible for supplying the heart with the nutrients it needs to function effectively.
    Coronary circulation begins at the base of the aorta, where two main arteries arise—the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus and supply the...

    Operant Conditioning Intervention

    Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
    In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

    Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): An Overview with Scientific InsightsCoronary Artery Disease (CAD), often referred to as C-A-D, is a prevalent blood vessel disorder classified under the broader category of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a pathological process characterized by the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques. These plaques are composed of cholesterol, fatty substances, inflammatory cells, calcium, and fibrin, reducing blood flow to...
