Use of Back Support After Transfemoral Angiography

In the routine treatment procedure after coronary angiography (CAG), the patients remain in the supine position for a long time, which leads to decreased venous return and back pain. In addition, lying in the same position for 2 hours or more in the back area causes an increase in pressure. Increased pressure disrupts cell and tissue blood supply. The resulting pain may increase sympathetic stimulation. Therefore, sympathetic stimulation increases heart rate, blood pressure, myocardial oxygen consumption and cardiac workload. After the transfemoral coronary angiography (CAG) procedure, which is frequently applied to adults for both diagnosis and treatment, the back support to be applied to ensure that the vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation) of the patients remain stable and to increase their comfort level can prevent the deviation of the vital signs of the patients from normal and contribute to the treatment process with patient satisfaction.
