Efficacy and safety of early release radial compression time in patient with radial air-inflated pressure device in Ha Noi Medical University Hospital

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the safety of early - release radial compression time in patients with radial air-inflated pressure devices and to compare the efficacy of early - release radial compression time in patients with radial air - inflated pressure devices with standard methods. Short-time hemostasis is one of the strategies to prevent complications related to the radial artery compression band. Long - time hemostasis in standard protocol may not be necessary. Methods: 141 patients having radial air-inflated devices were observed. Group 1 contains patients with the early releasing method in which medical staff releases 10 percent of air volume in the compression device every hour. Group 2 contains patients with the standard method of medical staff releasing 10 percent of air volume in compression devices every two hours. The bleeding rate, pain score, and discomfort level were compared between the two groups. Results: There was no statistical difference in the distribution of baseline characteristics. 2.8% of the group 1 developed swollen in the radial area, which had a diameter of less than 5 cm and needed to re - inflate again. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in bleeding percentages, with a p - value of 0,496 (p > 0.05). There is an obvious statistical difference in pain score and discomfort level between group 1 and group 2. The patients in Group 1 had less pain and lower discomfort level than Group 2. Conclusions: Release the proper pressure in the compression device from the first hour to every continuous hour is safe and benefits the patient by reducing pain, and uncomfortable level.
