Study of bleeding after sheath removal in heart ICU
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at what affects bleeding after removing a tube from an artery in the groin (femoral sheath) and how long people need to lie flat. It is for patients in a cardiac ICU who are having the sheath removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the best time to give a standard blood thinner (heparin) during a heart procedure called angioplasty, which opens blocked heart arteries through a wrist artery. It may help reduce bleeding or clotting risks.
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding after a heart procedure through the groin: using a special pad or a sandbag. It aims to see which method works better and is safer.
This study tests whether changing your position after a heart catheterization through the groin can reduce pain, bleeding, bruising, and keep your vital signs stable. It may help you recover more comfortably after the procedure.
This study looks at how blood flow stops (bleeding control) at two different points in the wrist artery during a simulated procedure. It may help improve how bleeding is managed after heart catheterization.
This study looks at how to manage bleeding during and after open heart surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, the research may help improve blood loss control and your recovery.
This study looks at patients who develop bleeding in the stomach or intestines while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand how common this is and what factors might be involved, which could help improve care for future patients.
