Abstract

Intensive care unit nurses simply need to be aware of monitoring because the intra-aortic balloon pump is a mechanical device that boosts the myocardial oxygen perfusion and cardiac output in cardiac patients. In our country, there were no written guidelines for nurses on how to check the patient properly. Objectives: To check the validity of standardized guidelines in small groups of nurses to provide interventions for preventing possible complications to reduce the length of stay in intensive care units. Methods: A Pilot study was carried out on 10 % of the total number of nurses (10 nurses in the interventional group and 10 in the control group of the implementation of standardized guidelines) who have been working at Punjab institute of cardiology hospital. The pilot study was done to test the applicability, transparency, consequence, and feasibility of the study tool and sequence of quotations to maintain consistency. The necessary modifications were done, and the final form is developed. Results: Reliability of standardized guidelines were excellent after using small group of these guidelines were implemented on large sample size 72 nurses were trained with the help of educational session and booklet made according to guidelines randomized control trail (RCT) according these guidelines nurses provide all care to patient with intra-aortic balloon pump speedy recovery and also reduce the length of stay in cardiac ICU. Conclusion: We concluded that these standardized guidelines should be implemented on a large sample of cardiac intensive care unit nurses.
