Objective To explore the effect of prospective nursing intervention on the prevention of constipation in patients with acute myocardial infarction in the intensive care unit of cardiology department. Methods: From June 2020 to June 2021, 50 patients with acute myocardial infarction who received conservative treatment in the intensive care unit of Cardiology Department of our hospital were randomly selected to participate in the study, and they were divided into two groups by double-blind method. Study group (n=25) and one group as comparison group (n=25). The control group received general nursing intervention, and the research group received general nursing intervention combined with prospective nursing intervention. The cardiac function indicators (left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, stroke volume) before and after intervention were compared between the two groups and the intervention. The occurrence of constipation afterward and the average defecation duration. Results: There was no significant difference in the levels of cardiac function indexes between the two groups before the intervention (P>0.05). The cardiac function indexes of the two groups were improved after the intervention. The left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume in the study group were higher. In the control group, the left ventricular end-systolic diameter was lower than that of the control group, and there was a significant difference (P<0.05). ). Conclusion: Prospective nursing intervention for patients with acute myocardial infarction conservatively treated in the cardiology intensive care unit has a good effect on the prevention of constipation, and helps to improve the level of cardiac function indicators, which can promote the development of the disease in a better direction.
