RESUMEN
Objective To observe effect of artery hemostatic instrument in hemestasis by compression of puncture site after coronary arteriography. Methods 92 patients who were to undergo coronary arteriog-raphy were divided randomly into the experimental group(47 cases)and the control group(45 cases). Artery hemostatic imstruments were used in the experimental group, the control group used routine compression method for hemostasis. Subcutaneous hemorrhage, subcutaneous hematoma, hematocyanosis, vesicle, uroschesis, deep vein thrombus, false aneurysm, backache, extremity numbness, anxiety and sleep disorder were compared in the two groups. Results Incidence of hematocyanosis, vesicle, uroschesis, backache, ex-tremity numbness, anxiety and sleep disorder in the control group was lower than that in the experimental group. No significant difference was seen in hemorrhage and hematoma in the two groups. There was no deep vein thrombus in the two groups. There was one case of false aneurysm in the experimental group, but no false aneurysm happened in the control group, but there was no statistical significance. Conclusions there was reduced incidence of hematocyanosis, vesicle, uroschesis, backache, extremity numbness, anxiety and sleep disorder in hemostasis by compression with artery hemostatic instrument after coronary arteriography. This can improve patients' comfort and achieve effective hemostasis.
