Comfort Level After Transfemoral Coronary Angiography

With the increase in the number of cardiovascular diseases, the safety of the angiography method used in diagnosis and treatment becomes important. The transfemoral approach is often preferred during angiography. It is recommended to have bed rest for 6-12 hours after transfemoral angiography (TFA) to prevent possible complications. In order to reduce the complications arising from angiography, it is predicted from the studies that giving the patient a therapeutic position, elevating the head of the bed and gradual early mobilization will reduce the patients' groin pain, prevent urinary retention and increase patient comfort. In this study, the effect of gradual mobilization after transfemoral angiography on the vital signs, complications and comfort level of the patients. It is planned to be done to determine the

Patients will be mobilized in accordance with the gradual mobilization procedure 12 hours after the angiography procedure.

Primary outcomes

  1. Pulse rate per minute

    Time frame: 20 minutes

    Vital signs

  2. blood pressure rate, mmHg

    Time frame: 20 minutes

    Vital signs

  3. respiratory rate per minute

    Time frame: 20 minutes

    Vital signs

  4. SpO2 value of the patients will be measured.

    Time frame: 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. General Comfort Scale

    Time frame: The comfort scale will be filled 2 hours after mobilization.

    It is used to determine the comfort level of patients. The highest score that can be given to the positive items in the scale, four (4), indicates high comfort, and the lowest score, one (1), indicates low comfort. Thus, the lowest score that can be obtained in the GAS is 48 points, while the highest score is 192 points. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the comfort level perceived by the patient increases. The total score obtained is divided by 48, which is the number of scale items, and the average value is found in the range of 1-4. If the patient performing the scale has low comfort, it is expressed as one (1), and if the patient has high comfort, it is expressed as four (4).
