The objective of this study is to compare two patients' education method (Video & Verbal) on patients' satisfaction and complications after coronary angiography. Materials & Methods: In a quasi-experime...

    The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of Benson relaxation and premedication on systolic, diastolic, LV & aorta pressure in patients under coronary angiography hospitalized in heart and post angio unit of Shahid Beheshti Center of heart in Zanjan during 2003. In this quasi-experimental study, 40 patients under coronary angiography were selected with random allocation ...

Background: In kidney transplantation decision about the proper kidney donation is different between surgeons, but simple vasculature anatomy and a kidney without abnormalities are the most important reasons of choosing a kidney. Therefore    complete assessment of renal vessels of a live donor with noninvasive techniques is a necessity for nephrectomy. For delineation of the kidney vasculature...

Background and Objectives: Iran is a large country that is often an importer of major medical equipment. There is no comprehensive databank of the status of the equipment in the country. The present study provides a clear description of the dispersal status of major medical equipment in the country in 2016 and the estimated number of required devices in 2026.   Methods: This study was conduct...

Background and purpose: N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) has been found to reduce the risk of Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN) in chronic renal insufficiency after CT imaging with contrast enhancement. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of NAC, for the prevention of CIN in normal renal functioning patients undergoing coronary angiography. Materials and Methods: We prospe...

  Background & Aim: Patients' satisfaction is one of the most important indices for evaluating quality of care. Restricting patients to be bed rest after angiography leads to minimize the complications bleeding which is always accompanied by patient's fatigue and dissatisfaction.
