The purpose of this study was to search the hemostasis success rate, groincomplication rate and complication predictors associated with a new femeral arterycompression procedure after Percutaneous Coronary Angioplasty(PTCA) in acoronary care unit(C.C.U.). While descriptive correlational study design was used.The purposive sample consisted of 120 patients after PTCA admittance to C.C.U.of a medical center from June to August in 2004. Variables included patients'variables during and after PTCA procedural variables, and pain scale of patientsduring compression. Chi-squre test, t-test and logistic regression were used toanalyze the data. The results indicated the hemostasis success rate was 77.5% andgroin complication rate was 22.5%. The complication predictors were pain scale ofpatients at initial manual compression and lying flat, and variation of low limbperfusion before and after intrasheath removal. The suggestions are as follows: (1)Doctors can administer local anesthesia to the patient before intrasheath removaland carefully decrease manual compression pressure when patients complain ofpain. (2)Nurses must help change position after femostop is removed especiallywhen patients complain of discomfort. (3)Nurses must pay attention to thesepatients' low limb perfusion without variation, and observe the complications'. |
