VERAPAMIL PLUS NITROGLYCERIN 100 µG VERSUS VERAPAMIL PLUS NITROGLYCERIN 300 µG FOR SPASM PROPHYLAXIS WITH TRANS RADIAL APPROACH.

Abstract

catheter manipulation, A firm grip by the operator to remove the sheath and Augmented resistance to sheath retrieval • Need of more dose of nitroglycerin Decreased from 16.4% with 100 mic to 7.4 % with 300 mic with p=0.086 • Continuous forearm pain decreased from 19.9% with 100 mic to 8.8% with 300 mic with p=0.067 • Pain with catheter manipulation decreased from 14.1% with 100 mic to 5.9% with 300 mic with p=0.108 • Pain during sheath insertion or removal decreased from 14.1% with 100 mic to 5.9% with 300 mic with p=0.108 • A firm grip by the operator to remove the sheath decreased from 18.3% with 100 mic to 8.8% with 300 mic with p=0.104 • Augmented resistance to sheath retrieval decreased from 19.7% with 100 mic to 8.8% with 300 mic with p=0.067 Regarding the patient satisfaction, no significant difference was found between the two groups but there was a trend towards more patient satisfaction in group B. There was no significant difference between both groups regarding the procedural cost
