Abstract:
Objective To explore the hemostatic effects of the hypothermal tourniquet on elderly patients after radial arterial blood collection. Methods A total of 200 patients ( over seventy years older) after blood collection were divided into experimental group and control group by random number table. The hypothermal tourniquets was introduced for hemostasis in the experimental group while the traditional pressure hemostasis was used in the control group. We compared the pain level and skin status at the pricking point. Results The pain score of pricking point in the control group was (5. 6 ± 1. 506) compared with (1. 9 ± 1. 287) in the experimental group (t=6. 40,P<0. 01). The incidences of bleeding, ecchymosis, hematoma, numbness of limb at pricking point in the experimental group were 2. 0%, 3. 0%, 2. 0%, 6. 0%, while they were 10. 0%, 12. 0%, 11. 0%, 21. 0% in the control group (χ2 =5. 67, 5. 84, 6. 66, 9. 63;P<0. 05). Conclusions The application of hypothermal tourniquet is a effective method to stop bleeding among elderly after radial arterial blood collection.
