Nursing care of patients before and after catheter ablation

Catheter ablation is the ultimate non-pharmacological treatment of heart rhythm disorders, allowing the destruction i.e. ablation of abnormal tissue in the heart, which has resulted in the emergence of this disorder. This is a procedure which can be targeted pathologic affect the electrical activity of a precinct of cardiac infarction. This work is dedicated to the nursing care of patients before and after catheter ablation, the level of patient awareness, the level of communication between the nurse and patient and monitors the needs of the respondents after myocardial performance. Up to date of this issue we see even that several prospective randomized trials have shown significantly higher ablation efficiency in long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm than during treatment with ant arrhythmic drugs. Furthermore, the quality of life after catheter ablation increases and its improvement is significantly higher than with ant arrhythmic drugs. The theoretical part deals in the introduction with the history of discoveries in other chapters include anatomy and function of the heart. It also provides information about heart rhythm problems, describes the clinical picture of the disease and treatment options. At the end of the theoretical part is to work preparing a patient for power, the act itself, potential complications, nursing care after surgery and the role of the nurse in her. The aim of this passage is a summary of existing knowledge about resolved issue. This section has been prepared on the basis of relevant literature sources. The aim of this work is to determine the specifics of nursing care before and after the performance of catheter ablation. To achieve this objective were in the empirical part used the qualitative research methods. In this section were collected answers to three research questions. What is the awareness of patients undergoing catheter ablation performance? What is nurse communication with the patient? What are the needs of the patient after surgery catheter ablation? The survey was conducted in patients undergoing catheter ablation performance. Interviews took place in the hospital České Budějovice and in the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM) in Prague cardiology department. The survey was included in a group of ten respondents. Their choice was determined by the willingness of respondents to participate in the research and work on it. For each of the participants used non - standardized form of interview. The results of the survey were analyzed and entered into categories. In view of the results of our work we want the work and its results as much as possible open up to the public of professional nursing. We hope that results of the work will increase the interest of the professional public about this issue and ask other workers willing to contribute to their solution
