Effects of groin dressing by pressure dressing with elastic adhesive bandage and light dressing with transparent film on vascular complications in patients post cardiac catheterization: a retrospective study
Keywords:
adhesive tape, cardiac catheterization, groin dressing, transparent film, vascular complicationsAbstract
Objectives: To study effect of groin dressing on patients post cardiac catheterization compare vascular complications between pressure dressing with elastic adhesive bandage and light dressing with transparent film (TFD).
Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of the patients post cardiac catheterization at the heart center from May 2017 to September 2018. The main outcome were vascular complications defined as 1) hematoma 24 hours or 1 month after the procedure 2) active bleeding. statistical analysis data were analyzed using program R version 3.5.2. The Wilcoxon’s rank sum and chi-squared test were used to study significant association between two categorical variables < 0.05 level of significance.
Results: Of all 419 patients undergone manual compression (MC), 208 were TFD and 211 were pressure dressing with elastic adhesive bandage. The incidence of vascular complications was not differed significantly between the light dressing with transparent film (TFD) (0.48%, 95% CI: 0.00-0.96) and pressure dressing (1.89%, 95% CI: 0.95- 2.83).
Conclusion: Dressing of puncture site after sheath removal post cardiac catheterization with pressure dressing with elastic adhesive bandage and light dressing with transparent film (TFD) applied to the femoral artery puncture wound was not difference in hematoma and active bleeding complications.
