Background: Congestive heart failure patients suffer from dyspnea and fatigue resulting in diminished exercise tolerance, contributing to decreased physical functioning and quality of life. The aim of this study is to evaluate effect of early mobility and activity interventions to reduce patients respiratory complications associated with Congestive Heart Failure. Design: Quasi-experimental research design. Setting: Coronary Care Unit (CCU) of El-Orman Cardiology Hospital, at Assuit University Hospitals. Sample: Seventy critically ill adult males and females' patients' divided into two equal and matched groups (35 study & 35 control). Tools: - Three tools; Tool 1: Patient assessment sheet, Tool 2: Early mobility and activity levels interventions and Tool 3: Monitoring respiratory complications sheet. Results: the patients in study group had lesser dyspnea attacks, absence of abnormal lung sound and less respiratory complications as compared with the control group patients. Conclusion: Applying early mobility and activity interventions significantly improve dyspnea; improve oxygen saturation and lesser respiratory complications associated with congestive heart failure. Recommendations: Emphasize on application of the mobility and activity for patients with cardiovascular diseases to prevent complications. |
