Background: Ischemic heart disease is the first cause of early death in the world. One of the main treatments for patients with acute coronary syndrome is the use of anticoagulants. The aim of this study, The aim of this study was to compare effect of two methods of intermittent intravenous injection and continuous infusion on APTT in patients with ACS.Materials and Methods: clinical trial was performed on 60 patients selected by random sampling in Neishabour Hospital in 2018. To data gathering were used the demographic information questionnaire, and APTT checklist. The intravenous injection group received 2500 units heparin every 3 hours and infusion group was given 1000 units per hour and APTT was controlled. Data analysis was done using SPSS-16 software and sinifiant level was considered to be less than 0.05.Results: Mean APTT level in first stage was 40.8 ± 11.17 and 38.87 ± 8.86 in intermittent intravenous injection and continuous infusion groups respectively. In the 8th stage, mean APTT level in intravenous injection group was 55.03 ± 8.41 and in continuous infusion group was 55.7 ± 14.09. Independent t-test did not show a significant difference between the two groups (P> 0.05).Conclusion: Regarding to approximation of the results in two methods, alternate injection method can be used instead of continuous intravenous infusion. This method creates less constraints for the patient and reduces the burden on nurses due to don’t need setting pump syringe, serum heparin preparation, and alleviation of alarms.

Background: Improving the quality of life in heart patients is the main objective of health improvement programs. Self-management education programs, the most important ways to improve and improving health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of self-management 5 A on the quality of life of elderly patients with acute coronary syndrom.Methods: This clinical trial, two groups that 54 elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome patients admitted patients in the cardiology ward and CCU Imam Reza Hospital in Bojnourd for available selected and The method of permutation blocks into two groups (27 patients) and control (27), respectively. The intervention group self-management programs were based 5A. The control group received routine hospital. The instrument used in this study are lipad quality of life questionnaire. in the first and two months after the study was completed in two groups. Data using SPSS 20 software and Chi-square and Wilcoxon tests were analyzed with repeated measures analysis(p= 0/78).Results: The findings showed that most of patients were female, married and uneducated. The mean age of patients 66/18 ± 4/68 years. The mean scores in all aspects of quality of life was higher in the intervention group after completion of the study. But statistically significant difference was not observed.Conclusion: This study demonstrated the effectiveness of self-management program 5A model on quality of life of elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome in the study period was not.

Background & Objectives: Coronary artery disease is the most common cardiovascular disease and cause of a lot of deaths worldwide. In patients with this disease, symptom management is performed both pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. Rhythmic breathing is one of the non-pharmacological proposed methods. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rhythmic breathing on the cardiorespiratory parameters in Acute Coronary Syndrome patients admitted at CCU. Methods: In this clinical trial, 80 patients with acute coronary syndrome were randomly divided into two interventional and control groups. The intervention group performed the rhythmic breathing for 20 minutes every 5 minutes once and it took 1 minute, and any intervention was not performed in the control group, but routine medical procedures were similar in both groups. Before and after the intervention, blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and oxygen saturation were recorded. The study instrument consisted of a demographic questionnaire and a data sheet for recording physiologic parameters, and the data were analyzed by using SPSS software. P values less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results:Based on the findings, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in systolic blood pressure (P=0.65), diastolic blood pressure (P=0.53), respiratory rate (P=0.12), the rhythm of respiration (P=0.74), heart rate (P=0.61), the rhythm of the heartbeat (P=0.5) and arterial oxygen saturation (P= 0.67). Conclusion: Despite the lack of significant findings in this study, rhythmic breathing can be conducted in other cardiovascular diseases with a larger sample size, profiting from its potential benefits.
