ABSTRACT:
Background: Hypotension refers to an abnormally low blood pressure (BP) below 80/60. The role of nursing in treating the patients with hypotension is having a lot of importance. Objectives: To assess the Effectiveness of Nursing Strategies on Cardiac parameters among patients with hypotension admitted in Dhanvantri Critical Care Centre, Erode. Design: Quasi-experimental design, where Pre and Post test Non equivalent Group design, Setting: Dhanvantri Critical Care Centre, Erode. Methods: Out of 30 patients, 20 patients were selected as experimental group and 10 patients were selected as control group by using purposive sampling technique. Level of cardiac function was measured by cardiac parameters observational scale before and after the procedure. Results: Scores in cardiac function shows, posttest 80% of patients had moderate level of cardiac function in control group whereas on experimental group 95% of patients had normal level of cardiac function. The patient’s level of cardiac parameters improved from the mean value of 12.7±1.59 to 12.5±2.18 in control group and 11.8± 2.07 to 19.2±2.66 in experimental group respectively. Paired ‘t’ test score was 3.462 and 27.49 in control and experimental group. Unpaired ‘t’ test score was 5.44 which is significantly effective. Conclusion: The findings of the study reveal that Fluid therapy and passive leg raising is more effective and it improves the level of cardiac function in patients with hypotension.
