Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Complications associated with cardiac catheterisation, such as vascular complications, which include haematoma and ecchymosis, are the most frequent and can worsen patient outcomes while exposing patients to longer hospital stays and increased hospital expenses. Nurses can predict complications and reduce the possibility of their occurrence. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of implementing nursing guidelines on improving local vascular outcomes among patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: The study was carried out at a coronary care unit at Heart Hospital of Assiut University, Egypt, using a quasi-experimental research design. A purposive sampling of 150 patients was used. Three tools were utilised to collect data - patient assessment tool, predictive Vascular Complications Risk (VASCOR) score assessment and patients' outcomes tool.
