Use Modular Medical Equipment Vehicle in Mobilization of Patient With Chest Tube

The Effect of Modular Carrying System on Patient Outcomes in the Mobilization of Patients With a Chest Tube

in this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of the modular carrying system on the outcomes of care in the mobilization of patients with a chest tube. The population of the study consisted of patients followed in Yedikule Chest Diseases, and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital between October 2019 and January 2021, and the sample consisted of 83 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The study was performed with the intervention group (n=37) mobilized with the Modular medical equipment carrying vehicle and the control group (n=46) mobilized with the routine application.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Pain; Sleep Quality; Mobility Limitation; Comfort; Time of the Removal Chest Tube
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: mobilization with moduler medical equipment carring vehicle

Detailed Description

Within the scope of the study, a Modular medical equipment carrying vehicle was developed by the researchers to ensure the safe and comfortable mobilization of patients with chest tube and additional medical equipment. This vehicle has been designed to maintain the level of the chest tube during mobilization and to prevent it from tipping over.Patients in the intervention group were mobilized with the help of this Modular medical equipment carrying vehicle for 20 minutes at least 6 times a day. Patients in the control group were mobilized at least 6 times a day for 20 minutes with clinical routine practice.
