Abstract: ObjectiveTo study the effect of the rehabilitation nursing and movement training on patients after cardiac valve surgery.Methods26 cases who accepted cardiac valve surgery were assessed with psycho-physiological and cardiac function, then make single rehabilitation nursing measures. Movement training was being done for 20 days as well as mental convalescence and health education of rehabilitation.ResultsCardiac function of all cases was promoted 1-2 grade after rehabilitation. Exercise stress was raised and movement time was prolonged than that of before rehabilitation (P<0.01). The heart rate, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, binomial product (HR×SBP) ane the lowered S-T segment were also improved significantly after rehabilitation whether in the state at rest or motion with equal time and stress (P<0.01-0.05).ConclusionsRehabilitation nursing and movement training can reduce complications after cardiac valve surgery, raise cardiac reserve, and lower myocardial oxygen consumption. Meanwhile, it can improve myocardial ischemia and raise cardio-pulmonary function. It also can improve quantity of patients' life.
