Peripheral Artery Disease V: Postoperative Nursing Management01:23

Peripheral Artery Disease V: Postoperative Nursing Management

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...
Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management01:28

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

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:
Angina V: Nursing Management01:20

Angina V: Nursing Management

Angina, a symptom of myocardial ischemia, requires a structured nursing management approach to ensure effective care and prevent complications like myocardial infarction. Comprehensive nursing care involves assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes, all tailored to the individual patient's needs.Patient AssessmentNursing assessment begins with a detailed subjective evaluation of symptoms, which typically include chest pain or pressure radiating to the...
Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Pain Management
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Postoperative pain significantly impacts patient recovery and satisfaction.
  • Non-pharmacological interventions offer a complementary approach to traditional pain management.
  • Understanding nurses' roles in delivering these interventions is crucial for optimizing care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify non-pharmacological interventions used in postoperative pain management.
  • To delineate nurses' roles in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of these interventions.
  • To determine the outcome measures utilized in studies of nurse-involved non-pharmacological pain management.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review was performed following Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines.
  • Searches were conducted across major databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, Web of Science) from 2016 to 2025.
  • Studies involving adult surgical inpatients and nurse-led non-pharmacological interventions were included.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-three studies examined interventions like cold therapy, acupressure, and aromatherapy.
  • Pain intensity was primarily measured using the Visual Analog Scale and Numeric Rating Scale.
  • Nurses were involved in intervention planning (30.4%), implementation (87.0%), and evaluation (56.5%), with limited studies encompassing all three.

Conclusions:

  • Nurse-involved non-pharmacological interventions are versatile across various surgical settings.
  • Standardized protocols and institutional support are recommended for integration into perioperative care.
  • Multidimensional outcome assessments can enhance postoperative pain management strategies.
