Implementasi Keperawatan Elevasi Kepala Untuk Penurunan Back Pain Pada Pasien Post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Studi Literatur Review

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Background: A common side effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures is back pain. Head of bed elevation (HOB) is a simple, easy-to-perform intervention with good predictive value for pain reduction in post-PCI patients. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze pain reduction in post-PCI patients after head elevation intervention.

Methods: To identify outcomes related to the effects of professional head elevation interventions, an online literature search strategy was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest. This review design used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Guidelines. The literature sources reviewed ranged from 2020 to 2025. Eight articles met the criteria and were reviewed.

Results: The eight articles reviewed demonstrated that head of bed elevation is a safe technique without increasing the risk of complications and is an effective intervention for reducing lumbar pain in PCI patients.

Conclusion: HOB is a safe and effective technique for reducing lumbar pain in patients after invasive coronary intervention.
