AIM's Clinical Appropriateness Guidelines (hereinafter "AIM's Clinical Appropriateness Guidelines" or the "Guidelines") are designed to assist providers in making the most appropriate treatment decision for a specific clinical condition for an individual. As used by AIM, the Guidelines establish objective and evidence-based, where Median length of stay in the ICU was 1 day. Despite the large proportion of patients sent to the ICU, just 16% of the total population developed complications after PCI that would require an ICU stay. Of the 16,047 patients admitted to the ICU, 4.1% died, 4.1% developed cardiac arrest, 9.8% developed cardiogenic shock, and 1.0% had a stroke. Post Cardiac Intervention-PCI (Radial) Version 5 8/2/19 ⚫ This order set is designed to be used for post cardiac catheterization with intervention. If interventions were not alert and oxygen saturation remains > 94 % then pulse oximetry per unit standard of care; Place on affected hand preferably on thumb or first finger Initials_____ A semi-structured interview guide was developed from the authors' clinical experience and from previous research on continuity and follow-up care of other patient populations. 14,18 Development of the interview guide was guided by Haggerty et al.'s 6 definition of continuity of care ().The interview guide was slightly modified after performing two pilot interviews. Post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Clinic Guideline This guidance does not override the individual responsibility of health professionals to make appropriate decision according to the circumstances of the individual patient in consultation with the patient and/or carer. Health care professionals must be prepared to justify any INTRODUCTION. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) refers to both nonstenting procedures and stent interventions. Stenting represented an advance over balloon angioplasty (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PTCA]) alone because acute procedural success was higher and the rate of restenosis requiring target lesion Percutaneous coronary intervention after fibrinolytic therapy may be indicated in patients who remain unstable or in stable patients who have had incomplete reperfusion or as part of a pharmacoinvasive strategy. OCT guidance led to post-PCI stent optimization in 29 percent of Patients must speak with a health care provider for complete As part of the guideline development process, nurses identified a preference for lying patients flat. 16 As with other aspects of post-PCI care, patient position has limited research evidence to support practice. 16 Chair et al. 95 conducted a randomised control study regarding in-bed positioning (supine vs. lateral positioning and elevation of Primary PCI 6 Thrombolysis 6 Transfer protocol for STEMI 7 Ancilliary treatment 7-9 Continuing treatment 9-10 Mobilisation 10 Follow up post-MI 11 Complications of AMI 11 Recurrent chest pain 11 Heart failure 11-12 Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known as coronary angioplasty or simply angioplasty, is a non-surgical procedure used to treat the stenotic (narrowed) coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary heart disease. These stenotic segments are due to the buildup of the cholesterolladen plaques that form d- ue to atherosclerosis. So many savings: SDD after PCI can save up to $5,000 per procedure (plus another $2,000 more in savings when using radial access) for aggregate savings estimated to be as much a
