Abstract

Femoral hematomas may occur after Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA). The objective of this study was to identify the correlation between the nurses’ compliance of femoral sheath removal with the incidence of hematoma in patients after PTCA. This observational study enrolled 20 nurses and 20 patients after PTCA in Intensive Care Unit, taken by simple random sampling. Data collection was undertaken using a set of observation sheet based on Standard Operating Procedure and the presence of hematoma. The data were analyzed with Spearman Rank test with significance level of 0,05. Results showed that there was a significant correlation between compliance of nurses in performing the procedure of sheath removal with the incidence of hematoma (ρ = 0.000). A properly performed compression manual on removal of the arterial sheath, ie, for 15-20 minutes until hemostasis is reached where no bleeding through the catheter inserts will minimize the incidence of the hematoma. Supervision, training and simulation will improve the capacity of nurses’ knowledge and skills in performing sheath removal procedures.
