Groin management is nurse-lingo for the care required after femoral artery or vein access, such as following a cardiac catheterization or interventional radiology procedure. In this episode, we focus specifically on nursing care after the sheath has been removed and hemostasis has been achieved.

Using the LATTE framework, we walk through:


What a normal groin-site should look like post-procedure


Methods utilized to achieve hemostasis 


Priority nursing assessments and red flags


Tests and imaging you may see ordered if complications arise


Key treatments, including SafeGuard management and bedrest precautions


Patient and family education to reduce bleeding risk

If you’re working or precepting in PACU, IR recovery, telemetry, step-down, or the ICU, then this episode is a must-listen!
