Femstops

How long does your unit leave femstops in place for on an uncomplicated groin after a line pull? We have just had some policy changes in our unit that some like and others don't, though i understand the reason for the change. We usually keep the femstop on for one to two hours depending on meds, other issues, etc then go to a ten pound sandbag. We used to keep the femstop on longer with no pressure other than that of the belt but our cardiologists (and the manufacturer, i think) states that for vasuclar reasons this is not good...what is everyone else doing?:cool:

Could I get a copy of your Policy?

We've had great success with the femstop..no more sandbags for use-you can't see the site. We've done the c-clamp (hate it), manual and femstop. If we have a rebleed with the femstop then we'll hold manual pressure then place the femstop back on at a higher pressure and titrate it down as we are able to.
