Nursing care of patients with the compartment syndrome
KRČMOVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis "Nursing Care of a Patient with Compartment Syndrome" surveys the specialities of a nursing care about a patient with this syndrome. As the care of such a patient is highly specific, a nurse is supposed to have enough information about this issue. The theoretical part deals especially with preventive precautions, syndromes, diagnostics, treatment, perioperative period, complications and furthermore also a care after releasing a patient for home care. The empiric part is based on a qualitative survey construct. A data collection is based on half-structured interviews. The aim of the thesis was: 1. To find out specialities of the care of a patient with this diagnosis. 2. To reveal possible complications concerning a patient with a developing compartment syndrome. From the results of a survey research emerged that despite small faults, the questioned nurses provide the patients with a high quality nursing. It was found out that the nurses highly appreciate preventive precautions with which they try to prevent a compartment syndrome development. According to obtained information, the nurses contact a doctor immediately in case of alarming symptoms. The doctor deals with the diagnostic and following treatment measures. It was detected that the provided care is varied because a nurse takes care of a patient both before and after the operation. Furthermore, it was revealed that a care of a patient after fasciotomy does not differ substantially from a common care provided by nurses for other patients.
