Summary

Background: Removal of femoral arterial catheter causes pain, and current interventions used for reducing this pain are not sufficiently effective.

Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the pain reduction effectiveness of ice bag applications to the femoral region in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Design: A randomized controlled trial with repeated measures and two-group design.

Setting: This study was conducted at the Yilmaz-Mehmet Oztaskın Heart and Vascular Hospital located in Kayseri, Turkey.

Participants: The study was completed with a total of 104 patients who met the inclusion criteria: 52 each in the experimental group and the control group.

Methods: The data were collected by the researcher using Patient Identification Form, Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Vital Signs Monitoring Form. An ice bag was applied to patients in the experimental group for 20 minutes before removal of the catheter. The nurse performing the application was also responsible for the catheter removal, immediately after the ice bag was removed. Standard procedures of the clinic were applied to the control group. According to the relevant standard procedures, the catheter was removed by the nurse without making any other application to femoral region, and pressure was applied on catheter site. The pain experienced by the patients was evaluated before, and during removal and again while the nurse applied pressure on the catheter site after removal. The NRS scores were identified as NRS1, NRS2 and NRS3 for the three assessment, respectively.
