The study of the effect of sand and ice bag on the rate of hemorrhage and hematoma after coronary artery bypass graft (PCI)

Introduction: Vascular and local angiographic complications such as bleeding and hematoma are a common phenomenon. These complications increase the length of stay and increase hospital costs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using sand and ice bags on reducing bleeding and hematoma after coronary intervention.Method: Sixty patients with PCI femoral candidates were randomly assigned to control and intervention groups. The arterial artery was removed 4 hours after completion of the procedure. Then in the control group, a sand bag was placed on the Catheter region for up to 4 hours. In the test group, the ice bag and then the sand bag were placed on it for 15 minutes. The amount of hemorrhage and hematoma were checked at the beginning of the department and then at 3, 6, and 12 hour after the procedure. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square, Fisher exact, T-test and Two-way analysis of variance.Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic characteristics, amount of hemorrhage and hematoma before intervention. However, the difference in bleeding in grams in stages 2, 3 and 4 and in cc at stages 2 and 4 was significant between the two groups of control and intervention (p> 0.05). However, the incidence of hematoma in the intervention group decreased from control to 20% to 6.7%, but the statistical test was not significant.Conclusion: The use of sand and ice bags has led to a decrease in bleeding and hematoma after percutaneous coronary intervention
