“…The patient should have the symptoms in the last 3 months, starting at least 6 months earlier, and have at least two of the above criteria. 17 , 18 The Rome IV scale was completed before the intervention to exclude patients with chronic constipation. According to the Iranian studies that conducted on patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders 19 and healthy people, 20 the Rome scale had good validity.…”

Background: Cardiac patients are prone to experiencing constipation. The main purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of acupressure on preventing constipation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) under primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: The present randomized clinical trial was conducted on 90 patients with AMI (30 patients in each group) who were randomly allocated based on inclusion criteria. The intervention was carried out among the patients with AMI on the acupressure points SJ6, LI4, ST25, and SP6 two times a day (10 am and 6 pm) for three sequential days. Results: On the first and second days of the study, all of the patients had no defecation, and the first defecation occurred on the third day of the study. In the intervention, sham, and control groups, 93.3%, 46.7%, and 50.0% had normal defecation on the third day of the study, respectively. The results of the Chi-square test revealed significant differences among the three groups (P<0.001). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that patients with AMI in the intervention group had significant improvement in terms of stool consistency based on the Bristol stool scale. So, acupressure can be used as a nursing intervention in critical care units.

“…The origin is not known, but it may be linked to emotional factor or disorder; and, in some cases, it may be due to a tumor process. According to Luporini et al, (2020), the ROMA IV consensus criteria classify dyspepsia as having an organic cause and a specific cause.…”

Dyspepsia is defined by any disorder of digestion in the gastrointestinal tract or gastric sensitivity, and is divided into two groups: secondary dyspepsia, which are specific lesions such as peptic ulcer, esophagitis, gastric cancer, and cholelithiasis that result from different diseases, and functional dyspepsia. For the diagnosis of functional dyspepsia, the Rome IV criteria should be adopted. For the diagnosis of functional dyspepsia, the patient must have one or more of the following symptoms: a nagging sensation of postprandial fullness, early satiety, epigastric burning, and no evidence of structural disease that would explain the symptoms. There are signs and symptoms that the physician must be alert to in order to investigate more serious diseases that require earlier therapeutic measures, such as neoplasms. These signs are characterized as "alarm signals" and among them are, for example: unintentional weight loss, dysphagia, odynophagia, persistent vomiting, hematemesis, family history of cancer of the gastrointestinal tract. The use of upper endoscopy is one of the most common methods for investigating dyspepsia, but it should not be requested for all patients indiscriminately. Given this, the objective of this research was to identify the alarm signs and analyze the main criteria used for the request of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in dyspeptic patients in order to reduce the impacts before the investigation and clinical management performed. For this, a systematic review of the literature was performed from a search in the Scielo database, using the descriptors "upper digestive endoscopy" and "dyspepsia", finding a total of 15 studies published in the period 2010 to 2020 and after reading the title and abstract, 14 articles were selected for presenting greater relevance and affinity with the subject under study. The inclusion criteria used were productions in the public domain that dealt with the proposed theme, works written in several languages and productions available in full, thus excluding the Edimundo Da Silva Quadros Junior et al.
