Brief summary

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a common revascularization procedure for patients with coronary artery disease. Patients undergoing PCI are often required to remain in a supine position for several hours after the procedure to prevent complications at the vascular access site. Prolonged immobilization can lead to discomfort and back pain. Early mobilisation may help reduce back pain and improve patient comfort without increasing the risk of complications. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of early mobilisation in reducing back pain among patients following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Detailed description

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is widely performed to restore coronary blood flow in patients with coronary artery disease. After PCI, patients are commonly instructed to remain in a supine position for extended periods to reduce the risk of bleeding at the catheter insertion site. However, prolonged bed rest has been associated with several adverse effects, including lower back pain, discomfort, and reduced patient satisfaction. Early mobilisation has been proposed as a strategy to reduce these complications while maintaining patient safety. Several studies suggest that allowing patients to mobilise earlier may reduce back pain and improve overall comfort without increasing vascular complications. This interventional study aims to determine the effectiveness of early mobilisation in reducing back pain among patients following PCI. Participants will be divided into two groups: an intervention group receiving early mobilisation and a control group receiving standard post-PCI care. Back pain intensity will be measured using a validated pain scale at specific time intervals following the procedure. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence to support improved nursing care protocols and enhance patient comfort during post-PCI recovery.

Interventions

Early mobilisation includes gradual mobilisation such as head-of-bed elevation and controlled body movement initiated earlier after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) under nurse supervision to reduce back pain.

Standard post-procedure care following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), including routine bed rest according to hospital protocol without early mobilisation.
