Background: Nurses play a substantial role in maintaining patient homeostasis postcardiac catheterization. Patients frequently complain of back pain and discomfort as a result of the prolonged bed rest postcatheterization.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of early position change postcardiac catheterization on reducing patients' pain and discomfort.
Settings: The study was conducted at two cardiac units in a university hospital in Jordan.
Participants: A total of 120 patients were used in the study, 60 patients in each of the two groups-control and intervention.
Methods: The randomized controlled trial design was used. Data were initially collected 1 hour after sheath removal postcardiac catheterization. After that, the protocol was applied to the interventional group.
Results: Early position change 1 hour after sheath removal after cardiac catheterization was found to be effective in reducing back pain as compared with the control group (P < .001). Also, the study intervention was found to be effective in reducing urinary discomfort (X = 50.83, P < .001), and increasing comfort level (X = 120, P < .001). However, although participants in the intervention group were less likely to have constipation and hematoma than those in the control group, this outcome was not statistically significant at P > .05.
Conclusion: Early position change 1 hour after sheath removal postcardiac catheterization has significant positive effects on patient outcomes by reducing the intensity of back pain and urination problems and increasing patients' comfort level without increasing incidents of vascular complications such as bleeding and hematoma.

Article Synopsis
- Pheochromocytomas can be hard to diagnose since they don't always present with the classic symptoms of headaches, palpitations, and high blood pressure; only about 25% of cases show this triad.
- A 41-year-old woman experienced a heart attack with no blocked arteries and was later diagnosed with pheochromocytoma, but her condition worsened due to erratic blood pressure and complications like a thyroid storm, leading to her death.
- It’s crucial for doctors to consider pheochromocytoma and thyroid issues in patients with non-obstructive heart attacks, as early detection could improve survival rates, even though current guidelines don't highlight these conditions as potential causes.

Background Diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization plays a significant role in the management of congenital heart defects with acceptable risks. Its role has also evolved in sick children but is associated with higher risks due to technical difficulties and co-morbidity factors. Some of the post-cardiac surgery children who show resistance to conventional management during the early postoperative period usually have residual defects or obstructions.

More than one million cardiac catheterization procedures are performed each year in the United States for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Obtaining access through the radial artery has gained popularity in recent years due to its economic as well as its morbidity and mortality benefits over femoral artery access. However, with any invasive procedure there are associated risks, including arteriovenous fistula formation.
