The Z Stitch Early Bed Rest Assessment Study

Sponsor

Oregon Health and Science University

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2024

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.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at whether using a special suturing technique called a 'Z-stitch' during heart procedures can allow patients to get out of bed and move around sooner after the procedure, compared to the standard approach of lying flat for several hours. This could improve patient comfort and recovery time. **You may be eligible if...** - You are having a heart procedure in the electrophysiology (EP) lab for conditions such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, SVT, a diagnostic EP study, AV node ablation, or Watchman device placement **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You refuse or are unable to give consent - Your procedure requires access through an artery (arterial access) - Your procedure requires a very large catheter sheath (greater than 16 French) - Your BMI is over 40 - You are having a lead extraction procedure Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

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)
