ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how the position a patient is placed in after a specific heart procedure called transfemoral coronary angiography affects their pain, bleeding, bruising, and vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure). The researchers want to find out if changing the patient's position can help improve their comfort and safety during recovery.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old, able to understand and communicate in Turkish, and scheduled to have the angiography procedure. They should be in good health, without any serious bleeding issues or chronic pain, and not taking certain medications that might complicate the study. If you join the trial, you can expect to be monitored closely after the procedure to see how the different positions impact your recovery. It's important to know that the trial is not currently recruiting participants but will be starting soon.
