I have a question about femstops that I have not been able to get an answer to. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. We very seldem use a femstop in my unit, we usually hold manual pressure. On the occassion that we do use a femstoop it is usually due to a bleeding problem. I usually ask that my nurses do a one on one with the patient. Thhis is because of pressure changes in the patient, the patient moving a dislodging the or causing the femstop to slip, injury to the leg, a decrease in the pulse in that leg, etc. Does anyone have any thoughts on this and does anyone else do a one on one when a femstop is on? The nurses on my unit (Short Stay Unit) have at least 3 other patients besides this one. The other 2-3 nurses that are on the unit will take over those patients while this is going on. Some feedback on this would be great. THANKS.
