Summary
A new mind-body intervention (MBI) will be tested in vascular surgery patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs) to assess its feasibility and patient experience.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Mind-Body Interventions
- Patient Outcomes
Background:
- A novel mind-body intervention (MBI) has been developed for patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs) under procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA).
- This intervention has not yet undergone clinical testing.
- An exploratory randomized controlled trial is planned to evaluate its efficacy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel perioperative mind-body intervention (MBI).
- To evaluate the MBI's impact on patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs) under procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA).
Main Methods:
- An exploratory randomized controlled trial will enroll 30 patients undergoing PVIs under PSA across four hospitals.
- Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either the perioperative MBI or standard care.
- Data collection includes perioperative pain and sedation requirements, and qualitative feedback from patients and staff.
Main Results:
- This section is not applicable as the study is planned and results are not yet available.
Conclusions:
- This protocol outlines a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a novel perioperative MBI.
- The study aims to provide preliminary data on the MBI's potential benefits for patients undergoing PVIs under PSA.

01:27Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
01:26Peripheral Artery Disease IV: Nursing Management
The nursing management of a patient with peripheral artery disease (PAD) begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s health history and clinical manifestations.AssessmentHealth History: Evaluate the patient’s history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of cardiovascular issues, and lifestyle factors such as dietary patterns, smoking, and physical activity.Physical Examination:Assess the affected extremity for decreased or absent peripheral pulses, temperature changes,...

During the postoperative period, it is crucial to focus on maintaining circulation, identifying and managing potential complications, and planning for discharge.Nursing AssessmentVital signs monitoring: Regularly monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to detect early signs of complications such as bleeding and infection.Circulation assessment: Monitor pulses, perform Doppler assessments, and check capillary refill, color, temperature, and...
