Early extubation after cardiac surgery : the degree of pain and confusion (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakrund: Fast track-kirurgi är ett alltmer vanligt förekommande arbetssätt inom hjärtkirurgi. Tidigare studier har påvisat att en tidig extubation har medfört en vinst i patientens rehabili-teringsprocess samt bidragit till kortare vårdtider och sänkta sjukvårdskostnader. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att kartlägga och redovisa graden av smärta och konfusion efter extubation hos patienter som genomgått hjärtkirurgi. Metod: Material inhämtades genom en fortlöpande journalgranskning. Pilotstudien granskade patientjournaler samt övervakningsjournaler i realtid. Detta utfördes i kombination med ett observationsformulär som utformats till studien innehållande mätinstrumenten VAS [Visuell Analog Skala, för smärtskattning] och RASS [The Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale, för konfusionsbedömning]. Resultat: Patienterna upplevde smärta både efter tidig och sen extubering vid hjärtkirurgi. Efter tidig extubation dokumenterades fyra av tio patienter vara lugna och alerta samt sex av tio som slöa. Efter sen extubation dokumenterades en patient vara lätt sederad, åtta patienter slöa, en patient alert och lugn samt en patient var rastlös. Konklusion: Datamaterialet är anpassat till en pilotstudie. Således är det inte möjligt att dra några vetenskapliga slutsatser gällande korrelationen mellan extubationstid, smärta och konfusion. För att kunna uppnå en vetenskaplig signifikans krävs en studie av större kvantitet.

Abstract [en]

Background: Fast-track surgery is an increasingly common work procedure in cardiac surgery. Previous studies have shown that an early extubation has a positive effect on the patients’ reha-bilitation process and contributes to a shorter hospitalization and lowered medical costs. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify and recognize the degree of pain and confusion after extubation in patients’ undergone cardiac surgery. Method: Material was collected through an ongoing record review. The pilot study examined the medical records and monitoring records in real time. This was carried out in combination with an observation form designed for the study containing the instruments VAS [Visual Analogue Scale for pain measurement] and RASS [The Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale, for the assessment of the degree of confusion]. Results: Patients experienced pain after both early and late extubation in heart surgery. After early extubation four of ten patients were documented as calm and alert, and six of ten as dull. After late extubation one patient was documented/revised to be slightly sedated, eight patients as lethargic, one patient as alert and calm, and one patient as restless. Conclusion: The data set is appropriate for a pilot study. Thus, it is not possible to draw any scientific conclusions concerning the correlation between the time of extubation, pain and confusion. In order to achieve a scientific significance, a study of greater amplitude is required.
