Abstract
The manual compression approach is still widely used to achieve hemostasis of the radial artery. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of competency-driven hemostasis training for radial artery among early-career residents.
This prospective, self-controlled study included 10 residents who had not previously received standard compression hemostasis training (Trial Registration: ChiCTR1900025140, 13/08/2019). Radial artery compression was performed in 100 patients both before and after training. The primary endpoints were 5 min hemostasis success rate, incidence of hematoma/bruise in puncture site, and the secondary endpoints were compression-related neurological sequelae and allergic responses.
The analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in the 5-min hemostasis success rate (84.94% vs. 93.62%, P = 0.05) and a substantial reduction in the occurrence of hematoma/bruise (29.03% vs. 13.82%, P = 0.011). There were no significant differences in the frequencies of neurological complications (3.22% vs. 1.06%, P = 0.65) or allergic reactions (4.30% vs. 3.19%, P = 0.32) between the pre- and post-training phases.
The competency-driven hemostasis training for radial artery enhanced hemostatic effectiveness while ensuring procedural safety, as demonstrated by a reduction in hematoma/bruise formation, without elevating the risk of neurological sequelae or allergic responses. The findings established an evidence-based foundation for competency-driven hemostasis training.
