The Effect of Different Positions in Children After Cardiac Surgery

Summary

The objective of this study to determine the effects of giving right lateral, left lateral and supine positions on vital signs and oxygen saturation in children after cardiac surgery.

Conditions

• Infant ALL

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Control group (Supine Position)

In this group the patients will be given supine position. 1. Body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and CVP will be recorded before the process. 2. The patient will be given supine position. 3. The arms and the hands will be elevated and supported, the legs will be elevated and supported. 4. The patient will be covered. 5. The patient's vital signs, SpO2 levels will be registered right before giving position, on the 1st minute, on the 1st hour and on the 2nd hour from right after giving position.

PROCEDURE

Experimental Group (Right Lateral position)

In this group the patients will be given right lateral position. 1. Body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and CVP will be recorded before the process. 2. The patient will be positioned supine and the bed will be straightened. 3. Lines, probes will be taken to the right side of the patient and the patient will be turned with 60-90 degrees right lateral and the back will be supported with a pillow along the neck and sacrum. 4. Between the legs will be supported with pillows. 5. The patient's head will be elevated with 45-60 degrees. 6. The patient will be covered : 7. The patient's vital signs, SpO2 levels will be registered right before giving position, on the 1st minute, on the 1st hour and on the 2nd hour from right after giving position.

PROCEDURE

Experimental Group (Left Lateral position)

In this group the patients will be given left lateral position. 1. Body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and CVP will be recorded before the process. 2. The patient will be positioned supine and the bed will be straightened. 3. Lines, probes will be taken to the left side of the patient and the patient will be turned with 60-90 degrees left lateral and the back will be supported with a pillow along the neck and sacrum. 4. Between the legs will be supported with pillows. 5. The patient's head will be elevated with 45-60 degrees. 6. The patient will be covered : 7. The patient's vital findings, SpO2 levels will be registered right before giving position, on the 1st minute, on the 1st hour and on the 2nd hour from right after giving position.
