  • Safety of early ambulation in patients undergoing ultrasound-guided femoral low angle arterial access technique (FLAT)

    2017, Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging
    Citation Excerpt :

    Doyle et al. found only 1.4% hematomas and 1.9% bleeding in patients who ambulated 1 hour after cardiac catheterization through a 5-F vascular sheath and achieving hemostasis with manual compression [10]. Furthermore, Logemann et al. demonstrated no difference in complications in patients ambulated 2 hours vs 6 hours post-procedure [11]. In our study, manual compression was performed for 10 minutes to achieve hemostasis.

  • Early Mobilization After Femoral Approach Diagnostic Coronary Angiography to Reduce Back Pain

    2015, Journal of Radiology Nursing
    Citation Excerpt :

    The nurses involved in the study of Best et al. (2010) noted fewer reports of patient discomfort in their early mobilization group of 1.5 hr. Participants in the study by Logemann et al. (1999) completed a patient satisfaction questionnaire, and their experimental group of mobilization at 2 hr noted lower levels of overall pain and higher levels of overall satisfaction. There were similar findings in the study by Pollard et al. (2003) who stated that at all times measured on the McGill pain questionnaire, the 2.5-hr early mobilization group experienced less pain and discomfort.

  • Early ambulation after diagnostic transfemoral catheterisation: A systematic review and meta-analysis

    2014, International Journal of Nursing Studies
    Citation Excerpt :

    The time in bed after catheterisation ranged from 2 to 24 h. Four studies compared 2 h bed rest vs. 4 h of bed rest (Baum and Gantt, 1996; Kato et al., 2009; Roebuck et al., 2000; Wood et al., 1997). Eleven studies compared 1.5–4 h bed rest vs. 6 h bed rest (Ashktorab et al., 2009; Bogart et al., 1999; Keeling et al., 1996; Wang et al., 2001; Lim et al., 1997; Logemann et al., 1999; Barkman and Lunse, 1994; Dowling et al., 2002; Rocha et al., 2009; Singh et al., 1998; Höglund et al., 2011). Five studies compared 4–6 h bed rest as early ambulation vs. 12–24 h bed rest as late ambulation (Wong et al., 1988; Chair et al., 2007; Keeling et al., 1994; Lau et al., 1993; Farmanbar et al., 2008).

  • Percutaneous closure devices do not reduce the risk of major access site complications in patients undergoing elective carotid stent placement

    2013, Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Earlier ambulation is put forth as an advantage of closure devices and has been convincingly demonstrated (1). However, earlier ambulation is of doubtful economic value in inpatients undergoing carotid stent placement, especially if the period of bed rest required for transfemoral cardiac procedures after manual compression is typically only 2 or 3 hours (14–18). Our study has several limitations.
