Thank you, Margaret Frank Email: robertfrank@citlink.net Cc: cathlabdigest@aol.com CLD posted Ms. Frank’s question on https://www.facebook.com/cathlabdigest for readers, and some of the responses are below: Kenneth A. Gorski: “You can view my lecture on access site management at CRTOnline.org here: https://www.crtonline.org/flash.aspx?PAGE_ID=5138. Additionally, The Medicines Company (Angiomax) produced a wonderful, non-commercial CD which demonstrates correct manual hold and patient assessment for femoral sheath removal.” Mike Weitzel: “Abbott has a presentation that reps can give discussing access site anatomy and manual compression, and the advantages of mechanical closure.” Michelle Baldwin: “Cath Lab Digest archive article ‘Refresher on Pressure’ has some interesting info.” [Editor’s note: The above blog entry, by Jon E. Jenkins, RN, RCIS, is available online at: https://tinyurl.com/CLDpressure] Re: Monitoring, assessing & documenting I am currently developing practice standards for nurses in the cath lab in my facility and I am having difficulty finding standards related to the frequency of monitoring, assessments, and documentation during procedures. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Patricia Gilman, APRN, MSN, ACNS-BC Email: pgilman@wmcnet.org Cc: cathlabdigest@aol.com
