RESUMO
Objective To observe the rates of local complications (bleeding/swelling) after trans-radial coronary intervention (TRI),to investigate possible impact factors,in order to provide guidance for the prevention of these adverse events.Methods A total of 198 cases who performed TRI at the department of interventional cardiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from August to December,2011 were included in the present study.Data with regards to local complications were collected peri-operatively,by means of direct inquiry,point-of-care observation and measurements,and laboratory testing.Patients who developed complications and patients who did not were compared in terms of compressor position,loosening protocol and so on.Variables with statistical significance in univariate analysis were further included in Cox regression.SPSS 18.0 software was applied for all statistical analysis.Results The relative risks (RR) of the following two variables,namely whether or not the midpoint of compressor was on the midline of forearm,and the vertical distance from the horizontal plate of the compressor to the puncture site,were 2.602 and 1.403,respectively.Conclusions The midpoint of compressor on the midline of forearm,and the vertical distance from the horizontal plate of the compressor to the puncture site were major risk factors of local complications after TRI.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate influencing factors of puncture site bleeding after trans-radial coronary intervention (TRI)in order to provide guidance for prevention of post-operative bleeding complications.Methods A total of 198 patients with TRI hospitalized at the department of interventional cardiology of our hospital from August,2011 to December,2011 were recruited in the study.In the prospective study,they were divided into two groups:bleeding group(n=62)and non-bleeding group(n=136).The general status,medication,position of radial compressor,time of immobilization of the wrist joint,duration of loosing tourniquet between the first time and second time and number of laps,time for depression,duration for total release of compression device and laboratory testing were recorded as data.Cox regression analysis was done to explore factors influencing bleeding.Results The factors for puncture site bleeding after trans-radial coronary intervention included pre-operative medications,location of compression device at the midline of operated forearm,distance between the compression device midpoint and the second wrist crease,and time for total release of compression device,with their RR=2.001,3.521,1.470 and 0.999,respectively.Conclusion Factors contributing to increased risk of local bleeding at puncture site following TRI included pre-operative medications,location of compression device at the midline of operated forearm,distance between the compression device midpoint and the second wrist crease;whereas the time for total release of compression device may be a protective factor.
