Admission to the coronary care units (CCUs) and the patient's reduced interaction with family are regarded as important sources of anxiety. Family participation in care programs is pivotal to patient ...
The present study was conducted to determine the effect of a care program based on family participation on anxiety in patients with acute coronary syndrome....
This randomised controlled trial was conducted on 90 patients in CCUs and their families. The patients were randomly assigned to one of the following three groups: routine care, control, and intervent...
The patients' mean state anxiety score before the intervention was 44.4 ± 12.7, 46.6 ± 12.4, and 45.5 ± 12.1 in the routine care, control, and intervention groups, respectively, with no significant di...
Increased family presence alone has no effect on the patients' anxiety, but the family's participation and interaction with the care team can affect anxiety levels in cardiac patients in CCUs and impr...
Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials, Trial No. IRCT201105146481N1....
With increasing life expectancy, the prevalence of nonagenarians with cardiovascular disease is steadily growing. However, this population is underrepresented in randomized trials and thus poorly defi...
We prospectively collected all patients admitted to a tertiary care center ICCU between July 2019 - July 2022 and compared nonagenarians to all other patients. The primary outcome was in-hospital mort...
A total of 3807 patients were included in the study. Of them 178 (4.7%) were nonagenarians and 93 (52%) females. Each year the prevalence of nonagenarians has increased from 4.0% to 2019, to 4.2% in 2...
With increasing life expectancy, the prevalence of nonagenarians in ICCU's is expected to increase. Although nonagenarian patients had more comorbidities and higher in-hospital mortality, they general...
The aim of our study was to determine the role of serum glucose-potassium ratio in predicting inhospital mortality in coronary care unit patients....
This study used data from the MORtality in CORonary Care Units in Turkey study, a national, observational, multicenter study that included all patients admitted to coronary care units between Septembe...
In a study of 3,157 patients, the mortality rate was 4.3% (n=137). Age (p=0.002), female gender (p=0.004), mean blood pressure (p<0.001), serum creatinine (p<0.001), C-reactive protein (p=0.002), whit...
Our study showed that the glucose-potassium ratio may be a significant predictor of inhospital mortality in coronary care unit patients....
We investigated the predictive values of the expanded Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II and Acute Physiologic Score and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in predicting in-hospital ...
In this study, expanded SAPS II and APACHE II scores were calculated in the CCU of a single-center tertiary hospital. Patients admitted to CCU with any cardivascular indication were included in the st...
A total of 871 patients were included in the analysis. The goodness-of-fit C chi-square test showed that both scores have a good performance in predicting survivors and nonsurvivors in CCU. Expanded S...
Expanded SAPS II and APACHE II scores have good ability to predict in-hospital mortality in CCU patients. Therefore, they can be used as a tool to predict short-term mortality in cardiovascular emerge...
With the improvement in outcomes for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the practice of routine admission to cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) is evolving. We aimed to describe the epidemiology of pati...
Using the CCCTN (Critical Care Cardiology Trials Network) Registry for consecutive medical CICU admissions across 26 advanced CICUs in North America between 2017 and 2020, we identified patients with ...
Of 10 118 CICU admissions, 29.4% (n=2978) were for a primary diagnosis of ACS, with significant interhospital variability (range, 13.4%-56.6%). Compared with patients admitted with a diagnosis other t...
In a registry of tertiary care CICUs, ACS represent ≈1/3 of all admissions with significant variability across hospitals. More than half of the ACS admissions to the CICU were for routine monitoring a...
Antibiotics resistance is an paramount threat affecting the whole world but nowhere situation is as gloomy as in India. No study till date regarding epidemiology of hospital acquired infections in cor...
After ethics committee approval, the records of all patients who were admitted in coronary care units, adult and pediatric cardiology wards surgery between January 2020 and December 2021 were reviewed...
271 patients developed microbiologically documented HAI during from January 2020 to December 2021. Maximum number of organisms(78/271 28.78%) are isolated from urinary samples ,followed by blood strea...
Urinary tract was the most common site of infection and Gram-negative bacilli, the most common pathogens in adult as well as pediatric population. Antibiotic resistance was maximum with commonly isola...
The aim of the study was to describe the epidemiology and outcome of patients hospitalised during the COVID-19 pandemic in intensive cardiac care units (ICCs)....

To obtain accurate and up-to-date information on epidemiology and outcome of patients admitted to ICCs during the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact that the COVID-19 infection may have determined on the o...
Acute coronary syndromes were the most frequent ICC discharge diagnoses followed by heart failure and hypokinetic arrhythmias. The prevalence of COVID-19 positivity was approximately 3%. Most patients...
This study provides a unique nationwide picture of current ICC care during COVID-19 pandemic....
NCT04744415....
Coronary care units (CCUs) were originally designed to monitor and treat peri-infarction ventricular arrhythmias but have evolved into highly specialized cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) that prov...
This study aimed to explore the barriers to the implementation of patient-centred care (PCC) in the cardiac care unit (CCU) from the perspectives of patients, nurses, physicians and nursing managers....
This study was performed with a descriptive qualitative study approach....
In this study, the data were collected through face-to-face in-depth semi-structured interviews with 10 cardiac care nurses, one assistant nurse, two cardiologists, seven patients admitted to the CCU ...
