Exploring Nursing Care for Patients Who Underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Using Electronic Nursing Records

Abstract

This study aimed to explore nursing care for patients underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery using standardized nursing records. A total of 184,029 nursing statements from 122 patients were analyzed, with 437 unique statements accounting for the majority of data. These statements were semantically mapped to SNOMED CT concepts related to clinical findings, situations, and procedures. The most prominent categories included pain management, postoperative lung care, and mental status assessments. The findings highlight the potential of standardized nursing records in identifying key nursing practices and improving outcomes for CABG surgery patients.
