Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Cardiac catheterisation is an invasive cardiac procedure performed for diagnostic (angiography) and/or therapeutic (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]) purposes. Transradial approach to catheterisation is common, and bleeding from the radial artery puncture site can occur when the catheter is removed. At Fiona Stanley Hospital (FSH), pressure is applied to the site post procedure for 1-2 hours to achieve haemostasis using an inflated TR Band® that is then incrementally deflated by nursing staff before removal. .

The TR Band® is applied to the patient’s wrist in the cardiac catheter laboratory during removal of the catheter sheath by staff trained in this procedure. As per current policy at FSH, TR Band® deflation commences at 60 minutes after angiogram and 120 minutes after angioplasty. TR Band® deflation involves deflating the balloon by removing 3mls of air every 10 minutes until all air is removed and the TR Band® is completely deflated. Deflation is performed by nurses deemed competent in this practice and who monitor bleeding and heamatoma formation during the deflation process. Adherence to the intervention will be monitored by site investigators by direct observation.

Treatment: Devices
Comparator / control treatment
The accelerated deflation protocols for this trial were developed following a literature review of similar studies and in discussion with senior nursing and medical cardiology staff at the site who are experts in cardiac catheterisation procedures. The accelerated protocols were agreed upon by consensus.

ANGIOGRAM
Control A - Standard deflation protocol - angiogram
* After 60mins, begin deflation 3ml each 10min until fully deflated

Intervention A -Accelerated deflation protocol - angiogram
* After 60min, deflate 50% of air in TR band
* After 15mins, deflated remaining 50% of air

PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION
Control B - Standard deflation protocol - Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
* After 120mins, begin deflation 3ml each 10min until fully deflated

Intervention B -Accelerated deflation protocol - Percutaneous Coronary intervention (PCI)
* After 90min, deflate 50% of air in TR band
* After 15mins, deflated remaining 50% of air

Summary
Brief summary
Cardiac catheterisation is an invasive cardiac procedure performed for diagnostic (angiography) and/or therapeutic (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]) purposes. Transradial approach to catheterisation is common, Current protocols for TR Band® deflation have been noted by staff as challenging to meet, with a recent audit identifying inconsistencies in practice and delayed deflations. Prolonged inflation times can increase the risk of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Evidence suggests that accelerated deflation protocols are safe and feasible and may reduce patient discomfort and length of stay. Various protocols have been developed and tested however, few assessed bleeding outcomes, efficiency of deflation and patient comfort.
This study aims to assess the feasibility of accelerated protocols for TR Band® deflation. Outcome measures will be bleeding complications, deflation time/steps and patient comfort.
