Preliminary Exploration of Factors Affecting Complete Hemostasis and Supine Time After Removal of Femoral Arterial Sheath in ICU Patients

Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital

Summary

Background:Following cardiac catheterization and arterial sheath removal, manual compression is applied until bleeding stops, after which a compression belt is used. Patients must lie supine for at least 6 hours, often experiencing discomfort including back pain, eating difficulties, and urinary problems. The compressed leg is restrained to prevent movement, adding to the discomfort. Despite adhering to this standard procedure, some patients still develop bleeding or hematomas after compression, requiring extended treatment. Current research on predicting compression duration and bleeding risk factors after femoral arterial sheath removal is limited and inconsistent. This study aims to identify factors that can more accurately predict necessary compression time after initial hemostasis, potentially reducing patient discomfort and complications such as prolonged bleeding, extended compression, and hematoma formation, which can impact vital signs. Purpose:To understand the factors influencing complete hemostasis and supine duration after femoral arterial sheath removal in ICU patients. Methods:Clinical data were collected through observation, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Expected Outcomes:To identify factors that influence complete hemostasis and supine duration after femoral arterial sheath removal in ICU patients, and to develop a prediction model that allows clinical units to accurately assess the required supine compression time following femoral arterial sheath removal.
