- Abstract
Aim: To compare the results of the water used to bath infarcted patients in bed under oxy-hemodynamic variables. Method: This research uses a 2X2 crossover of the interventions: bed bath with constant water temperature at 40°C (BB1) and 42.5°C (BB2) in 20 patients who had acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Dependent variables are: pulse oximetry, cardiac frequency(CF) and axillary temperature (Axt).The inferential statistics will be used in an analysis of the variations found repeated throughout the sample, as well as the Bonferroni test, with a level of significance of 5%. Results: The SpO2 and Axt were higher after BB2 (p<0.05) when compared with BB1.BB2 reduced CF by 1%(p=0.01). Discussion: The individual bath with controlled water temperature is capable of minimizing the oxy-hemodynamic impact. Conclusion: The bath with water temperature at 42.5°C was shown to be more favorable than at 40°C with regard to SpO2,CF and Axt in infarcted patients.
