Cardiac Tamponade After Removal of Temporary Pacer Wires Cardiac Tamponade After Removal of Temporary Pacer Wires
The topic of my research paper is Cardiac Tamponade After Removal of Temporary Pacer Wires. Mahon, Bena, Morrison, and Albert (2012) stated “The study was approved by the hospital’s institutional review board” (p. 434). There were no informed consents obtained, information was collected from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database and from health care provider’s documentation of reoperation due to bleeding (p. 434). Nieswiadomy (2012) stated “Although there is no signed consent The American Nurses Association Research and Study Commission published a set of guidelines for nursing research such as subjects must be protected from harm, their privacy should be ensured and their dignity preserved” (p. 22). In the research no one could identify the subjects and the information was divided into groups and given codes (p. 434). Confidentiality was maintained, patient’s names were not mentioned, and codes were used instead of names. According to Nieswiadomy (2012) “To assure anonymity or confidentiality, subjects and the site where the study was conducted should be described in general terms in the description of the sample and the setting. If either the subjects or the study location can be identified by this general description, confidentiality has been violated” (p. 26). The subjects were not exposed to any health risks. This research shows that there is a possibility patients can develop cardiac tamponade after removal of temporary pacer wires. There was no coercing and information was obtained from database and health care provider’s documentation. The benefits of the research is great, even through the possibility of developing Cardiac Tamponade is rare. Since there is a possibility that patients can develop
