About this study

Official title: Effect of Position Change and Back Massage Versus Early Ambulation on Post Transfemoral Coronary Angiography Complications

The study aimed to assess the effect of position change and back massage versus early ambulation on post transfemoral coronary angiography complications.

Read the detailed description

Post transfemoral coronary angiography (TFCA) may be associated with complications such as oozing, bleeding, ecchymosis, hematoma, and back pain. As a result, nursing practice must be geared toward enhancing patient safety post-transfemoral coronary angiography procedure. This study aimed to assess the effect of position change and back massage versus early ambulation on post transfemoral coronary angiography complications. A quasi-experimental research design was used to conduct this study at the Coronary Care Unit of the selected university hospital in Egypt. A convenience sample of 185 patients undergoing transfemoral coronary angiography was included in the study during the first 6 hours post-transfemoral coronary angiography and randomly assigned to two groups: 92 patients received position change and back massage (PCBM group), and 93 patients underwent early ambulation after the first 3 hours post-transfemoral coronary angiography (EA group). The used tool was "Post Transfemoral Coronary Angiography Complication Assessment".

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Position change and back massageOther

    Changing the patient's position every two hours as follows in the same order: supine position with a head angle of 15°, semi-fowler position with a head angle of 30°, lateral right or left position with a head angle of 15°. Also, the researcher applied a simple stroke of lower back massage for 5 minutes every 2 hours

  • Early ambulationOther

    The patient ambulated after 3 hours of complete bed rest in the supine position with a zero head of bed elevation angle

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Oozing and bleeding scale

    It was designed to measure any leakage of blood from the puncture site. It classified oozing and bleeding according to the surface area of the dressing soaked with blood to three items: (1) No bleeding or oozing (dry dressing), (2) Oozing (surface area < 2cm 2), (3) Bleeding (surface area ≥2cm 2).

    The researcher rated vascular complications on a dichotomous scale (Yes/No). The "Yes" response indicated the presence of complications and was given a score of one. On the other hand, the "No" response indicated the absence of complications and received a score of zero.

    Measured: After six hours post transfemoral coronary angiography

  2. Ecchymosis and hematoma formation scale

    It was designed to measure ecchymosis and hematoma size. It classified ecchymosis and hematoma according to the surface area of blood collection under the skin into three items: (1) No ecchymosis or hematoma (no blood collection), (2) Ecchymosis (surface area <2cm2), (3) Hematoma (surface area ≥ 2cm2). The researcher rated vascular complications on a dichotomous scale (Yes/No). The "Yes" response indicated the presence of complications and was given a score of one. On the other hand, the "No" response indicated the absence of complications and received a score of zero.

    Measured: After six hours post transfemoral coronary angiography

  3. Numeric rating scale

    The scale was used to assess the lower back pain intensity. It is a four-point numerical rating scale: no pain (0), mild pain (1-3), moderate pain (4-7), severe pain (8-10).

    Measured: After six hours post transfemoral coronary angiography
