Nursing of acute myocardial infarction

Acute myocardial infarction is a common heart disease in our human body. As people’s stress increases day by day, the incidence of acute myocardial infarction in our lives is still relatively high, which is also a concern for many people. Regarding the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, there are actually no very good treatment plans and drugs in current medicine, so care for acute myocardial infarction seems to be very necessary.

When caring for patients with acute myocardial infarction, we often need to pay attention to the overall body, so we need to be very careful and attentive when caring for patients with acute myocardial infarction. On the one hand, due to the medical inaction in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, and on the other hand, due to the great harm caused by acute myocardial infarction to patients, care for acute myocardial infarction is very important. So, let’s talk specifically about the key points of nursing for acute myocardial infarction.

1. Psychological treatment: Patients should keep themselves comfortable and happy mentally at ordinary times, eliminate tension and fear, pay attention to controlling their emotions and not get excited. And avoid overwork and catching colds. Because these factors can induce angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.

2. The diet should be light: Eat foods that are easy to digest, produce less gas, and contain an appropriate amount of vitamins, such as vegetables, fruits, and soy products. Maintain the necessary calories and nutrition every day, eat small meals frequently, avoid increasing the burden on the heart due to overeating, and avoid smoking and drinking. Eat less foods high in cholesterol, such as animal offal, fatty meat and chocolate. People with heart failure and high blood pressure should limit their sodium salt intake. At the same time, correctly record the water inflow and outflow.

3. Once angina pectoris and myocardial infarction occur, first let the patient lie down or sit quietly to rest, do not walk around, and do not move the patient in a hurry. If sublingual nitroglycerin tablets are ineffective and the pain is not relieved, the patient's pulse should be observed to see if it is regular. If the patient has cold sweats, pale complexion, and worsening irritability, the patient should be comforted and calmed, and lie flat without a pillow. If there is a sphygmomanometer, the blood pressure can be measured. Then you can ask a doctor from the health center or local hospital to come and see the patient. After the initial treatment is stable, the patient can be transferred to the hospital for treatment. If the patient's heart suddenly stops beating, you can tap on the lower part of the sternum with your fist, perform external chest compressions and artificial respiration.

Therefore, through the detailed introduction in the above article, everyone should know the key points of care for acute myocardial infarction. The nursing care for acute myocardial infarction generally involves both psychological and physical care, which is the most effective way to control the condition of acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, through the care of acute myocardial infarction, we hope that patients with acute myocardial infarction can complete treatment as soon as possible.
