简要总结
Cardiac Surgery (CH) aims to increase survival and improve quality of life in eligible cardiac patients. However, as with any invasive intervention, pain is one of the main complaints of patients in the post-surgical period. This research is justified by the evaluation of the potential impact of the use of TENS as an alternative for analgesia in reducing the length of hospital stay and directly in the effective cost of patients undergoing cardiac surgeries, in reducing morbidity and mortality, as well as in the quality of life and early return to their daily activities, in addition to reducing the use of drugs and potentially their side effects. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of TENS for analgesia in hospitalized patients undergoing cardiac surgery, investigating its efficacy, safety and impact on postoperative recovery.
