Key result
Early mobilisation (1.5 h bed rest) after femoral coronary angiography had similar rates of haematomas ≥ 5 cm compared to 5 h bed rest (5.8% vs 3.8%, ns) and significantly reduced back pain.
Why the study?
Does early mobilisation (1.5 h bed rest) reduce back pain without increasing vascular complications compared to 5 h bed rest in patients undergoing coronary angiography with femoral approach?
RCT (n=104)
randomised
No

Absolute Event Rate: 5.8% vs 3.8%
p-value: p=ns
Early mobilisation at 1.5 hours after femoral coronary angiography reduces back pain without significantly increasing vascular complications compared to 5 hours of bed rest.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports shorter bed rest after femoral angiography to reduce back pain; confirms vascular safety in randomized evidence.
Höglund et al. (2010) conducted an RCT in coronary angiography (n=104). Early mobilisation vs. 5 h bed rest was evaluated on any incidence of vascular complication (p=ns). Early mobilisation (1.5 h bed rest) after femoral coronary angiography had similar rates of haematomas ≥ 5 cm compared to 5 h bed rest (5.8% vs 3.8%, ns) and significantly reduced back pain.
