Fair play to you..you handled the situation very well..in the cases like this just always listen to ur own judgement ..at the end of the day its your own signature who are at stake in drug kardex...the court will see that just in case something will happen..good judgement..

we started using TR band due to the fact of numerous hematoma + pseudoanurysm that we encountered post angio...and also infection wise...we just followed whats in the literature and also we had an inservice about that...i think i prefer this TR band..its very handy just monitor ur pulses...esp..radial... just don't exceed putting air greater than 18 mls....and be very careful because its radial pressure...

we are using TR bands now in our unit and i find it very easy to handle because of the lesser infection than the one in femoral...its like a small femstop..very easy to manipulae but u have to be very careful when removing air on it or else it will bleed too much..u can apply air as far as 18 mls only and remove that air with intervals..always check the radial pulse though..

on our unit we usually check for the coag of the patient..or if she/he ahd clexane or not..then after that we applied pressure on the site wih kaltostat dressing with adrenalin on it and put it on top of the site and plus pressure bandage...be sure to check the pedal pulses esp the affected site..i hope this help...i prefer manual pressure rather than fem stop..

I just want to share my embarassing moment when i was doing 1 of my nursing routine..aka..changing pads...ok..here we go...i was assigned to work in a geriatric ward and its 4 pma nd its time for me to change my pt. nappy...she was sitting on a chair..she can stand with 1 assist..i told her that i'm going to change her napy..to cut the long story short..as soon as i assist her to stand up ...i farted..:uhoh21: its just came out naturally....i immediately looked at my patient and she just didn't make any comments...because she's confuse ( well.slightly)..thank God the curtain is close...and as soon as i'm finished..i open the curtain pretend nothing happen.....
