About

Coronary angiography is a reliable and valid method used in the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Coronary angiography is defined as the process of obtaining cineangiographic images by administering radio-opaque material to the coronary vessels via arterial route. Coronary angiography is frequently performed from brachial, radial and femoral arteries. The aim of coronary angiography is to determine the presence, localisation and extent of cardiovascular lesions.

Invasive interventions cause anxiety and pain in the patient, increase the level of anxiety and cause a number of negative effects such as increased use of sedative drugs, development of post-procedure complications, prolongation of the recovery process and hospitalisation time. It is stated that there is a positive relationship between reducing the anxiety of the patients and meeting the needs of the patients.

80 participants in 2 patient groups

Experimental Group

Experimental group

Description:

Patients in the experimental group were informed that cold spray would be applied to their arm in a supine position to reduce procedure-related pain. For femoral artery angiography, the central part of the inguinal access area was targeted, and for radial angiography, 2 cm above the styloid process of the radial bone was targeted, and cold spray (Chloroethyl spray) was applied for approximately 3 seconds from a height of 10 cm.

Treatment:

Other: Cold Spray

Control Group

No Intervention group

Description:

Pain levels recorded with the VAS were evaluated for patients after the procedure using the state anxiety scale. Pain levels for control group patients were also assessed and recorded within the sheath after intravenous solutions were given. Anxiety levels were recorded after the procedure was completed.
