“…9,18 Prior studies assessing the role of CCT in patients with LVADs have mainly focused on the additional extracardiac information that this technique provides over echocardiography, demonstrating clear superiority in diagnosis of some complications such as cannula thrombosis or malposition. 10,19,20 In our study, relevant post-operative findings were found in half of the patients, including 2 with cannula thrombi. In fact, the most common post-operative complications in these patients included RV dysfunction, cannula obstruction, pericardial collection/hematoma or pulmonary embolism, which are relatively easy to detect by CCT, whereas assessing some of these using transthoracic echocardiography remains a challenge.…”

“…Multislice spiral computed tomography-(CT-) enhanced scanning is commonly used in clinical practice [1][2][3][4], which belongs to computer scanning technology. The clinical advantages [5][6][7] include clear images, short scanning time, and qualitative and positioning diagnoses and are widely used in clinical examinations.…”

Purpose. Side effects such as local pain and tissue swelling will affect the effect of enhanced multislice spiral computed tomography (CT) scan. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of imaging nursing in enhanced CT scan for heart patients. Method. We selected 86 heart patients to receive enhanced multislice spiral CT scan as the research objects and randomly divided them into the test group and the control group. Imaging nursing and traditional nursing intervention was taken to compare the nursing effects of the two groups. Results. The incidence of unpleasant mood in the test group was 9.3%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group. The nursing satisfaction of the test group was 97.7%, which was much higher than the 79.1% of the control group. At the same time, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score of the test group and the incidence of contrast agent extravasation were significantly lower than those of the control group. Conclusion. The use of imaging nursing for heart patients with enhanced multislice spiral CT scan can reduce the patient’s unhealthy mood and improve nursing satisfaction, and the nursing effect is ideal.
