This study is observing heart patients in intensive care units who are undergoing removal of a catheter tube from their groin (femoral artery). Researchers want to understand what factors affect how quickly bleeding stops and how long patients need to remain lying flat after the tube is removed.
After catheter removal, patients currently must lie completely still for at least 6 hours with manual compression to prevent bleeding—causing significant discomfort including back pain, difficulty eating, and bathroom problems. Even with this standard care, some patients still develop bleeding or swelling. This trial aims to find better ways to predict which patients need shorter or longer recovery times, potentially reducing unnecessary discomfort and complications.

You would be observed by the research team during your standard recovery period after catheter removal. Researchers will collect information from your medical records and monitor your recovery—such as how long it takes for bleeding to stop completely and how long you lie flat—but you will not need to do anything beyond your normal post-procedure care. No experimental treatments are involved.
