Comparison of Two Protocols for Deflation of Radial Band Following Coronary Procedures Via the Radial Artery

"1. First 3ml of air is removed after TWO hour of sheath removal. Then, 3ml of air is removed every 15minutes.~2. Observe for any bleeding or hematoma. During every deflation, if any bleeding or hematoma is noticed then 3ml of air is pushed back into the device until bleeding stops. Then a gap of 15minutes is observed for the next deflation."

"1. First 2ml of air is removed from the band ONE hour after sheath removal. Then, 2ml of air is removed every 30minutes.~2. Observe for any bleeding or hematoma. During every deflation, if any bleeding or hematoma is noticed then 2ml of air should be pushed back into the device until bleeding stops. Then wait for another 30minutes for the next deflation."
