Clinical Trial: Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) Weighted Blanket Study
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Cardiac Catheterization
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Effectiveness of Weighted Blankets to Decrease Emergence Agitation, Sedation, and Vascular Complications in a Pediatric Cardiac Post Anesthesia Care Unit Following Cardiac Catheterization
Brief Summary:
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weighted blankets to reduce agitation in patients in the post-procedural phase after cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology procedures in the post anesthesia care unit.The study hypothesizes that compared to the traditional and current post-procedural strategy, weighted blanket use will reduce agitation and therefore lessen the need for additional sedation along with a reduction of post-procedure vascular complications.
