Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of early mobility on respiratory parameters in patients after open heart surgery.
Background. Post-operative phase of open heart surgery is the most critical period during which many serious and fatal complication can occur. Early mobility can prevent such complications. The role of the critical care nurse is crucial in this regard.
Method. In a randomized clinical trial, 104 patients who were candidate for open heart surgery were randomly assigned to experimental (n=52) and control (n=52) group. Patients in control group received hospital routine treatments. Patients in experimental group were mobilized from the bed in the first, second and third day after surgery. Early mobility included change position, siting on the bed, legs dangling off the bed, sitting in the chair next to the bed, and walking). The effect of early mobilization on respiratory indices was examined. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 18 using independent t-test, Chi-square and one way ANOVA statistical testes.
Findings. There was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding demographic variables and underlying disease. Better lung function and arterial blood gases suitable changes were seen in the experimental group. Inspiratory capacity and arterial oxygen saturation was greater in the experimental than control group.
Conclusion. Early mobility after open heart surgery is a safe and effective intervention and can have a positive effect on the patient's respiratory indices reducing pulmonary complications following surgery.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted to examine the effect of using Burn weaning checklist on the duration of mechanical ventilation and hemodynamic criteria in patients undergoing adult open heart surgery.
Background. Mechanical ventilation is an adjunct or alternative to spontaneous breathing. Due to the proximity of the circulatory and pulmonary systems, the balance of the mechanical ventilation system and the human cardiovascular system is complex, and its weaning must be planned.
Method. This randomized clinical trial study was performed on 80 patients admitted for open heart cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. After random assignment, in the control group, the weaning process was performed according to the routines by a physician, and in the experimental group, the weaning was performed by a Burn checklist by a physician and a nurse. Hemodynamic criteria (first and second hours upon arrival, first and second hours during weaning, first and second hours after weaning) and duration of mechanical ventilation were recorded and compared between experimental and control group. Data were analyzed in SPSS software version 22 using two-way repeated measures ANOVA.
Findings. The mean intubation duration in the experimental group (7.50±1.86 hours) was significantly less than the control group (11.30±3.39 hours) (P≤0.0001). The interaction between group and time for variables diastolic blood pressure (P=0.002), pulse pressure (P=0.003) and heart rate (P≤0.0001) was statistically significant.
Conclusion. The use of the Burn assessment checklist reduces the duration of weaning process in patients after adult open heart surgery. It also helps balancing hemodynamic criteria.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This Study aimed to examine the effect of social networking education on blood glucose control and post-surgical infections after open heart surgery in diabetic patients.
Background. Cardiovascular surgery is one of the most common surgeries that is performed with the aim of increasing survival and improving the quality of life in diabetic patients.
Method. This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 120 diabetic patients (age range 18-60 years) who underwent open heart surgery at Shahid Rajaei Cardiovascular Research and Research Center. The participants were randomly divided into experimental (n=60) and control group (n=60). In the experimental group, posts were delivered to patients with educational content (such as nutrition education, blood sugar self-monitoring, and ...) on a daily basis for three months on the WhatsApp social network. Data were collected by a checklist consisting of three parts: demographic characteristics, fasting blood sugar (FBS) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of patients before and 3 months after the intervention.
Findings. In both experimental and control group, 55 percent were male and 45percent were female. The percent of patients with postoperative wound infection in the experimental and control groups was 5.0 and 3.3, respectively. After intervention, in the experimental group, the FBS and Hb1Ac median was significantly reduced compared to before the intervention (p<0.001). The levels of FBS and Hb1Ac before and after the intervention did not differ significantly between the experimental and control group.
Conclusion. There was no different between groups in terms of blood sugar control and wound infections after open heart surgery. Due to the easy access, lack of time and space limitations of using social networks, further studies with longer follow-up are recommended.
