A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on Knowledge regarding Safety Practices for Cardiac Catheterization among staff Nurses working in Cardiac units in selected hospital at Rajkot

Cardiac nurse must assess and care for patients with cardiac problems as well as patients undergone cardiac catheterizations procedures, patient for any negative signs of a change in condition, safe transport, administering medication, help with basic personal care needs ,control of bleeding, maintenance of hemostasis .This will help in minimizing the vascular complications in patient. The rate of catheterization in the U.S. was more than 2.5 times that in Canada (71% vs. 27%, respectively, p<0.001). With identical prevalence of severe CAD at catheterization (17%) in the two countries, the higher frequency of catheterization in the U.S. resulted in the identification of more than two and a half times as many cases of severe CAD compared with Canada (12 severe CAD cases identified per 100 post. MI patients in the U.S.vs. 4.6 per 100 in Canada).
