Effect of Virtual Reality on Pain, Anxiety, and Vital Signs During Femoral Catheter Removal

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Femoral catheter removal after coronary angiography is a common clinical procedure that may cause pain, anxiety, and changes in vital signs in patients. Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly used to improve patient comfort and safety during invasive procedures. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of a virtual reality (VR) application on pain, anxiety, and vital signs during femoral catheter removal in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Participants were randomly assigned to either a virtual reality group or a control group receiving routine care. Patients in the intervention group experienced a virtual reality application during femoral catheter removal, while the control group received standard clinical care. Pain intensity, anxiety levels, and vital signs were assessed before, during, and after the procedure. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to evidence-based nursing practice by supporting the use of virtual reality as a safe and effective non-pharmacological method to reduce discomfort during femoral catheter removal.
