Intensity of pain in patients undergoing coronary angiography
Summary:
Introduction: The intensity of pain in patients undergoing coronary angiography plays a role in the best course of the examination and in their best quality of life.
Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to assess the intensity of pain in patients undergoing coronary angiography and angioplasty.
Material and method: The study sample consisted of 200 patients who underwent femoral and circulatory coronary angiography. The intensity of the pain was evaluated according to the numerical analog scale of pain measurement and the statistical analysis was performed by applying the statistical test t-test and anova.
Results: Out of the 200 patients in the sample, 95% were men and 44.0% were aged 50–59 years. At 39.0% the access vessel was the carotid artery and at 61.0% the femoral artery. Severe chest pain before coronary angiography accounts for 48.5% and no pain at all for 70.5%. People who underwent coronary angiography / angioplasty report more severe pain before, p <0.001, less pain after, p <0.001, and show the greatest difference before and after the intervention compared to those who underwent coronary angiography and were discharged. subjected to coronary artery bypass, p <0.001. Also more intense pain after coronary angiography is reported from women p <0.001, primary school students p = 0.003, private employees p = 0.019, people who have not had another coronary angiography p = 0.013, and those whose accessory vessel was femoral. artery, p = 0.039 and individuals who were little or not at all informed, p <0.001.
Conclusion: Patients who come with acute coronary syndrome and undergo coronary angiography / angioplasty show a large reduction in pain after angioplasty. The intensity of pain is also affected by other demographic and clinical features of the sample
