Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Male and female adults (18 years of age and older) who volunteered to participate in the study and signed a written consent form were eligible to be included. Patients who underwent a single-catheter coronary angioplasty through the femoral artery in the groin area. The participants had to read and write. They had not taken analgesics in the last few hours and were free from any hematoma or infection on the skin surrounding the sheath site.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: If the subjects declined to participate, they were eliminated. If patients suffer from severe visual impairment, a changed mental state, skin conditions linked to cold sensitivity (such as Raynaud's disease), sensory-motor deficiency, diabetes, neuropathy, and scar tissue from burns, wounds, or other injuries surrounding the sheath site. Patients have a two-sheath area in the femur. Individuals undergoing peripheral catheterization. Patients have a hematoma and bleeding in the surrounding area of the femur artery before sheath removal.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Relieve the pain intensity that occurs after arterial sheath removal. Timepoint: When arterial sheath removal is immediately applied, an intervention for 20 minutes is applied, and the pain intensity is measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after that. Method of measurement: Questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

Secondary
