The most common complications are bleeding and hematoma. In order to minimize the post-procedure complications, patients are restricted to bed for 8-24 hours in flat position. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early ambulation; three versus five hours after transfemoral diagnostic cardiac catheterization on vascular complications and level of pain. Methods: In a random clinical trial, 164 adult male and female patients, who had undergone transfemoral diagnostic cardiac catheterization were randomly assigned into two equal study groups . The first group (G1)ambulated at 3 hours after sheath removal. The second group (G2) ambulated 5 hours after sheath removal. The study was conducted at cardiac catheterization unit in cardiology department of the Specialized Medical Hospital at Mansoura University Hospital .The intensity of pain, the level of bleeding and he...

Stroke resulting in varied and unpredictable complications if not managed correctly in the acute stage with intensive rehabilitation therapy which may affect stroke prognosis, and resulting functional decline. Therefore, the aim of the study was to explore the consequences of rehabilitation versus conventional care on physiological parameters during the acute stroke recovery period.Methods: The quasi-experimental research design was used in the neurology department at Mansoura University Hospital. A convenient sample of sixty-four adult patients of both sex with stroke, who corresponded to inclusion criteria was assigned into two equal groups, study group (rehabilitation group) and control group (conventional care).Results: The results indicates, acute phase rehabilitation limit physiological parameters deterioration during acute stroke recovery period comparing to conventional c...
