The Z Stitch Early Bed Rest Assessment Study

Sponsor

Oregon Health and Science University

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Atrial Fibrillation Supraventricular Tachycardia Atrial Flutter Ventricular Tachycardia Syncope

Summary

The goal of this study is to understand the effects of early mobilization after a Z stitch procedure in patients undergoing certain heart-related treatments. The investigators want to find out if allowing patients to move around sooner after their procedure can improve their satisfaction and potentially lead to earlier discharge from the hospital. Type of Study: Clinical Trial Participant Population/Health Conditions: Patients aged 18-99 undergoing specific heart procedures such as atrial fibrillation treatment, atrial flutter treatment, supraventricular tachycardia treatment, diagnostic electrophysiology studies, AV node ablation, or Watchman device placement. Main Questions: Does early mobilization (getting up and moving around sooner) after the Z stitch procedure improve patient satisfaction? Participants will be divided into two groups, and researchers will compare those who have one hour of bedrest with those who have four hours of bedrest after the Z stitch procedure. The investigators want to see if the shorter bedrest period leads to higher patient satisfaction.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 99 Years

Inclusion Criteria7

Presenting for procedure in the EP lab for:
Atrial fibrillation
Atrial flutter
Supraventricular tachycardia
Diagnostic EP study
Atrioventricular node ablation
Watchman device placement

Exclusion Criteria5

Those who refuse or are unable to consent.
Cases involving arterial access.
Cases involving access with a \>16Fr sheath (i.e., no leadless pacer patients).
Patients with a BMI \> 40.
Lead-extraction patients.

Interventions

OTHEREarly mobilization

Z stitch placement is standard of care to achieve vascular hemostasis after EP procedures which is followed by 4 hours of bedrest. In this study, we will compare patient satisfaction and bleeding complications with a shorter bedrest (1 hour instead of 4 hours)
