Summary

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

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".

Conditions

• Catheter Complications
• Ambulation Difficulty
• Bleeding
• Back Pain
• Oozing
• Hematoma

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Position change and back massage	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
OTHER	Early ambulation	The patient ambulated after 3 hours of complete bed rest in the supine position with a zero head of bed elevation angle
