Summary

The primary focus of this research proposal is to examine the efficacy of a nursing care protocol in preventing the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. The investigation will encompass an experimental group that will be subjected to a specific intervention, alongside a control group that will adhere to conventional care procedures. The central objective is to exhibit a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of DVT within the experimental group in comparison to the control group. The secondary outcomes involve assessing the severity of DVT instances and the development of associated complications.

The proposed research strategy entails delineating the criteria for selecting participants, outlining methodologies for gathering data, and detailing statistical approaches for analysis. The amassed data will undergo scrutiny through suitable statistical examinations, including chi-square tests, t-tests, or Mann-Whitney U tests, as well as logistic regression analysis. The process of data analysis will involve descriptive statistics, comparative assessments, regression analysis, and subgroup scrutiny. The interpretation of outcomes will be contextualized within the framework of the research objectives and pre-existing scientific knowledge.

The ultimate objective of this study is to enhance the existing understanding of DVT prevention, provide clinically grounded recommendations supported by evidence, and elevate the quality and safety of patient care.

Interventions

DEVICE

IPC devices facilitate venous return by simulating the physiological effects of muscle contraction, reducing venous stasis.

Padua Prediction Score is a clinical tool that has been validated and created to identify hospitalized medical patients who are at risk of developing Venous Thromboembolism (VTE). Caprini's Risk Assessment Model (RAM) is one of the preferred risk scoring systems for assessing VTE chances for surgery patients. Joseph A. Caprini introduced it, which combines the hereditary and environmental risk factors, with a total of more than 40 different variables used in the assessment such as age, body mass index, past occurrence of VTE, varicose veins, presence of cancer, hormone therapy, and the length of immobility. The resulting score then puts patients into risk categories of very low with 0 points, low with 1-2 points, moderate with 3-4 pts., and high with ≥5 points.
