Emergency nursing care for patients with myocardial infarction

In daily life, as one of the more common cardiovascular problems, myocardial infarction has a relatively large impact on the physical and mental health of patients. The disease develops suddenly and is a common problem during emergency clinical treatment. During the emergency period, systematic nursing guidance can help patients achieve control of their condition, which helps to alleviate the physical and mental burden of patients and has positive value in protecting the safety of patients' lives.

1. Interpretation of Myocardial Infarction

Myocardial infarction is a common cardiovascular disease. This disease is related to factors such as stenosis or blockage of the coronary artery lumen, which can limit the blood circulation function of the patient's myocardial tissue, thereby affecting the health of the patient's myocardium. In daily life, many factors such as overweight and obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, smoking and alcohol abuse, and emotional fluctuations due to excessive mental stress may lead to the occurrence of this disease. For patients, this disease can affect the function of the patient's myocardial tissue, making the patient prone to typical precordial pain problems, and the heart may be accompanied by a heavy feeling. In severe cases, it can induce cardiogenic shock, which in turn threatens the patient's life.

2. Emergency nursing methods for patients with myocardial infarction

1. Ensure the standardized use of drugs

During the emergency care of myocardial infarction patients, timely intervention with drugs is the most common response method. Specifically, the more commonly used drugs include drugs that reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, drugs that dilate coronary arteries, antithrombotic drugs, lipid-regulating and thrombolytic drugs, etc. During the emergency nursing work, nurses should communicate well with doctors and follow the doctor's orders to use drugs scientifically. During this period, nurses should actively check the drugs and scientifically control the dosage of drugs to ensure that the patient's drug treatment achieves the best effect. During the medication period, nurses should also closely monitor and record the patient's clinical manifestations to ensure that the patient's medication safety is maintained.

2. Timely assessment of the patient's condition

From the perspective of nursing work, nurses should pay attention to the assessment and analysis of the patient's condition when caring for patients with myocardial infarction, so as to understand the development and severity of the patient's condition based on the individual clinical manifestations of the patient. Based on this, nurses can effectively carry out targeted nursing interventions, which has a good auxiliary significance for the personalized adjustment of nursing work and improves the targeted level of nursing services. On this basis, nurses can promptly assist patients in opening intravenous access and oxygen inhalation, which can effectively meet the patient's body's demand for oxygen and has positive value in controlling the patient's condition.

3. Carry out psychological counseling for patients

For patients with myocardial infarction, due to the impact of sudden disease symptoms, patients may be confused and worried about their life safety, and are prone to develop a series of negative psychological states such as tension or anxiety, which invisibly increases the patient's cardiac load. Based on this, nurses should assess the patient's psychological state when carrying out nursing work and use encouraging language to provide psychological counseling to the patient, so that the patient's psychological state can be adjusted and improved, which is of great significance to the control of the patient's condition and the recovery of myocardial tissue function.

4. Create a good atmosphere for rehabilitation and recuperation

During the emergency nursing work, in order to ensure that the patient's condition is fully controlled, nurses should try to create a good rehabilitation environment for patients. During the specific work, nurses should promptly scientifically control the temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions of the ward, and avoid making noise indoors to ensure quietness in the ward. At the same time, nurses should regularly patrol the patient's ward and regulate the placement of items. During this period, ventilation and disinfection of the ward should also be carried out regularly to promote the comfort of patients during recovery.

5. Implement daily dietary guidance for patients

Nurses should pay attention to patients' dietary problems during the nursing period and actively carry out scientific guidance to help patients achieve dietary norms in order to promote the control and improvement of their condition. During this period, patients are advised to follow the principle of light diet and increase the intake of food. At the same time, patients should pay attention to the scientific combination of fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid eating irritating ingredients such as raw, cold, spicy and so on.

In summary, in order to help myocardial infarction patients achieve life safety, nurses should pay close attention to emergency nursing issues, and analyze the methods and approaches of nursing work by combining nursing practice experience with nursing professional theory. By actively exploring and extending the methods and approaches of nursing work, nurses can better achieve full control of patients' conditions, which has a good auxiliary significance for the realization of nursing work goals and lays a solid foundation for the protection of patients' health.
