Brief Summary

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acupressure applied before CA procedure on systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse and pain intensity parameters after CA. Design: The study is a randomized controlled trial. Setting: The study occurred at Cardiology Service (CS) of a Training and Research Hospital in Turkey. Participants: One hundred patients whomet the research criteria.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

  • Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (T1)

    The patient marks his or her own pain on a 10 cm ruler, with painlessness on one end and the most severe pain on the other.

    Baseline

  • Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (T2)

    The patient marks his or her own pain on a 10 cm ruler, with painlessness on one end and the most severe pain on the other.

    5-15 minutes after coronary angiography

  • Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (T3)

    The patient marks his or her own pain on a 10 cm ruler, with painlessness on one end and the most severe pain on the other.

    1 hour after the 2nd time VAS assessment

  • Blood Pressure (T1)

    Digital and Calibrated Blood pressure monitor

    Baseline

  • Blood Pressure (T2)

    The pressure exerted by the circulating blood on the vessel wall is called blood pressure.Digital and Calibrated Blood pressure monitor

    5-15 minutes after coronary angiography

  • Blood Pressure (T3)

    The pressure exerted by the circulating blood on the vessel wall is called blood pressure.Digital and Calibrated Blood pressure monitor

    1 hour after the 2nd time blood pressure measurement

  • Heart Rate (T1)

    The pressure exerted by the circulating blood on the vessel wall is called blood.A calibrated pulse-oximeter was used to measure the pulse.

    Baseline

  • Heart Rate (T2)

    The pressure exerted by the circulating blood on the vessel wall is called blood.A calibrated pulse-oximeter was used to measure the pulse.

    5-15 minutes after coronary angiography

  • Heart Rate (T3)

    The pressure exerted by the circulating blood on the vessel wall is called blood.A calibrated pulse-oximeter was used to measure the pulse.

    1 hour after the 2nd time heart rate measurement
