Thumbs UP to Radial Approach Caths

Background Evidence and trend for cardiac angiograms is showing
that utilizing the Radial Artery access point for cardiac procedures will decrease: post-op complications mortality rates decreasing the patient’s length of stay
Reported cases of post-op bleeding complications from the femoral access site that have led to poor outcomes
4/3/2016 3
Purpose
to increase the Radial Artery Access procedures
to decrease post-op complications to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction

Relevance/Significance
Will decrease post-op complications, mortality rates and patient’s length of stay
Symptomatic complications are seen only 3-6% of the time
Femoral access has a 10% risk of severe postop complications leading to mortality
Radial Artery access demonstrates reduced patient hospital cost and length of stay by 15% (Rao, et al., 2008)

Radial artery circulation is very sophisticated

Evidence Ischemic complication related to accessing the
arteries of the wrist are extremely rare, due to the intricate blood distribution of the hand perfusion, and most likely an outcome of the collateral circulation that develop following asymptomatic closure of the artery (De Andrade, Tebet, Andrade, Mattos, & Labrunie, 2008).
Using anticoagulation meds after sheath insertion, using small sheath sizes, and avoiding complete occlusion of the RA post procedure while establishing hemostasis (Abdelaal, Molin, Plourde, MacHaalany, Bataille, Brousseau-Provencher, Montminy, Larose, Roy, Gleeton, Barbeau, Nguyen, Noel, Costerousse, & Bertrand, 2013).
The incident of Radial Artery Occlusion (RAO) is 4.8% to 19%, which typically has no
symptoms, since the hand has a dynamic circulation system, by being able to obtain blood
from both the radial and ulnar arteries (Greenwood, Della-Siega, Fretz, Kinloch, Klinke, Mildenberger, Williams, & Hilton, 2005).

Strategy and Implementation Initial implementation in Diagnostic Coronary outpatients
Nurses championed education on the “Thumbs Up” procedure for Radial Artery assessment utilizing the Modified Allen’s Test
Nursing education encompassed a knowledge of medications, equipment set up, procedural steps and patient education pieces
In 2013 the CCL department expanded Radial Artery Access to
include the Acute Coronary Catheterization clients
4/3/2016 9
Evaluation Currently 75% of all coronary procedures utilize Radial
Artery access
Outcomes of Radial Artery access demonstrates: patients ambulate earlier, experience less pain have fewer restrictions during recovery
Length of stay is shortened thereby reducing costs Nurses demonstrate expertise with this new process
