Effects of three groin compression methods on patient discomfort, distress, and vascular complications following a percutaneous coronary intervention procedure
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to determine if one groin compression method used to achieve femoral artery homeostasis causes the least discomfort and distress for patients and results in fewer vascular complications (VCs) after undergoing sheath removal followed by a percutaneous coronary intervention procedure. No differences are found by compression method but the nurses need to be vigilant when caring for patients who have a VC prior to femoral sheath removal and have received antiplatelet medications.
