Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of early ambulation on the comfort and complications in patients undergoing radiofre-quency catheter ablation via femoral vein approach. Methods From April,2016 to April,2017,120 patients were randomly assigned into control group(n=40),group A(n=40)and group B(n=40).The control group received the routine care of remaining bed rest for eight hours with the affected leg immobilized at least four hours.Group A ambulated after four hours of the affected leg immobili-zation,and group B changed their position after ablation and ambulated after four hours of bed rest.They were assessed with the General Comfort Questionnaire,Numerical Rating Scale of back pain and State Anxiety Inven-tory.Their vascular complications were recorded. Results The incidence of bleeding and hematoma was not significantly different among the groups(P>0.05).Group B was more comfortable than the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,groups A and B were less in back pain intensity(F>10.376,P<0.001),and had less anxiety(t=3.278,P<0.05),less incidence of limb numbness, difficulty falling asleep, and loss of appetite and dysuria (χ2>6.409, P<0.05). Group B was the best among them. Conclusion There is little risk of early physical activity and ambulation in the vascular complications after radiofrequen-cy catheter ablation via femoral vein approach,which may reduce their discomfort.
