Abstract:
Since 2020, our hospital has introduced nurse practitioners( NP) into cardiovascular surgery with the aim to improve labor efficiency. A cardiovascular surgery NP has both pre- and postoperative roles. An NP is not only involved in a necessary intervention but also in an intervention as the first assistant regardless of regular or emergency surgery. By having an NP perform the work normally performed by doctors, a labor burden on doctors is reduced and care administered by the medical team is smoothened. This study reports the role of NPs in the field of cardiovascular surgery in private hospitals.
