The Effect of cold compress on pain subsequent to vascular access through the radial artery

Investigating the effect of cold compress on pain caused by vascular access through the radial artery

In this study, we will use the block randomization method, without blinding, with 2 control and intervention groups, which is performed on a total of 60 patients, cards were used to randomize the patients in the groups.

The target population of the current study is patients with acute coronary syndrome, who are admitted to the post-angiography department of Amir al-Momenin and Quds Arak hospitals after radial angiography. Then, after allocating the patients to the test and control groups by the method of 4 blocks, the patients of the test group, for the patients of the test group, liquid injection inside the bracelet with a temperature of 1-2 degrees Celsius and placing a cold water compress with a volume of 100 mg with a temperature of 1-2 degrees Celsius will be done for 60 minutes. Also, the usual hospital care will be done for the control group. The amount of pain in the previous intervals, 20, 40, 60, will be measured with a VAS tool.

Ability to give informed consent, age 18-80, candidate for radial angiography and having a transparent cuffed bracelet, absence of sensory disorders and diseases affecting the transmission of nerve pain messages, insensitivity to cold, Exclusion criteria: cardiac rhythm disorder, patient hemodynamic disorder, Drug addiction

Intervention group: due to the pain in the puncture area after the completion of angiography, we decided to measure the effect of cold compress on recovery and relief of puncture pain.. The control group includes monitoring the patient and examining the puncture area in terms of bleeding and emptying the liquid inside the cuff on a regular basis

Block Randomization will be used in this study. In this study, the randomization units are individual and the patients who meet the entry criteria are randomly assigned to two groups A and B based on the desire of the people. In this study, six modes (AABB, ABAB, ABBA, BBAA, BABA, BAAB) will be created by the method of quadruple blocks. The different states of the blocks will be written on cardboard cards with the same color and size. Considering the sample size (60 people) and the six states of the block, the cards will be randomly selected 10 times with replacement. The pattern of each block will determine the order of patients in the intervention (A) and control (B) groups.
