Description
Summary:* Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a common procedure; however, there is no consensus about the duration of bed rest after the procedure. * To not allow patients to change positions during bed rest and prolonged bed rest after PCI can cause physical discomfort to patients. * Changing position during bed rest, elevating the head of bed to 45 degrees, reducing bed rest duration to four to six hours in post PCI care are found to be safe in various studies. * Most studies are in Western countries with a limited number on Chinese patients. More studies on different ethnic groups are suggested so that culturally relevant care can be provided. Key Words: bed rest duration * early ambulation * patient comfort * percutaneous coronary intervention * * La intervencion coronaria percutanea (ICP) es un procedimiento comun; no obstante, no hay consenso acerca de la duracion del reposo en cama despues del procedimiento. * No permitir cambios de posicion durante el reposo, tanto como el prolongado reposo en cama despues de una ICP causa disconfort fisico a los pacientes. * Cambiar de posicion durante el reposo, elevar la cabecera a 450, reducir el reposo en cama de 4 a 6 horas en el cuidado post ICP se encontro seguro en varios estudios. * La mayoria de los estudios se realizaron en paises occidentales con escasos pacientes Chinos. Se sugiere realizar mas estudios en diferentes grupos etnicos de modo de identificar la relevancia cultural del cuidado. Palabras clave Ambulacion temprana, confort del paciente, duracion del reposo en cama, intervencion coronaria percutanea
