Aims: To assess the effects of bed rest duration on short-term complications following transfemoral catheterization.
Methods And Results: A systematic search was carried out in MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, SciELO and in five registries of grey literature. Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies comparing different durations of bed rest after transfemoral catheterization were included.
Background: Flushing and locking of totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) is recommended to maintain their patency when not in use. Although manufacturers' recommendations indicate monthly access for TIVAD maintenance, there is a tendency in real life to prolong this interval.
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of prolonged versus short flushing and locking intervals to prevent TIVAD occlusions in adults with cancer.
Background: Bed rest is prescribed for all patients after cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) placement but to a varied extent. Different clinical protocols exist.
Aim: To assess the effects of different lengths of bed rest on complications and patient comfort after CIED implantation.
Background: Transfemoral cardiac catheterisation is an invasive medical procedure used for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. Postoperative bed rest can prevent a number of complications such as bleeding and haematoma formation and can result in side effects such as back pain and urinary discomfort. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the optimal length of bed rest.
