Does early mobilization at 3 or 4 hours compared to 6 hours affect groin complications in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention?
p-value: p=0.21 (bleeding), 0.612 (hematoma)
Early mobilization at 3 or 4 hours after femoral sheath removal following PCI does not significantly increase bleeding or hematoma formation compared to 6 hours of bed rest.
Walker et al. (2008) conducted an RCT in Percutaneous coronary intervention. Mobilization at 3, 4, or 6 hours vs. Compared against each other (3, 4, and 6 hours) was evaluated on Bleeding or hematoma formation at the groin puncture site (p=0.21 (bleeding), 0.612 (hematoma)). Mobilization at 3, 4, or 6 hours after femoral sheath removal had no significant effect on bleeding (P=0.21) or hematoma formation (P=0.612).
