Abstract
Abstract: Coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood-
filled chambers of the heart using a catheter to recognize occlusion, stenosis, and thrombosis. This procedure is
commonly performed through the femoral artery, which may induce possible complications such as bleeding or
hematoma. Restricting patient movement was adopted to avoid these complications. The patient has to lie in bed in a
supine position for at least 6 hours after angiography. This is an experimental case-control study, conducted to evaluate
the effect of early mobilization on back pain. A sample of 300 adult patients was selected by a random sample
technique. They were randomly allocated to 100 patients in the experimental group and 200 patients in the control
group. The study was conducted from March 2017 to March 2019 at Ahmed Gasim Cardiac Surgery and Renal
Transplantation Hospital in Khartoum State, Sudan. The experimental group was mobilized early after 4 hours and the
control group had routine bed rest for 6 hours post-sheath removal. Both groups received the usual care. A structured
questionnaire and checklist were used to collect data. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Packages for Social
Sciences (SPSS).The results revealed that the two groups feel pain varying between no pain and mild (85%) in the cases
and in the controls (89.0%) from one hour up to four hours but significant back pain increased clearly at five hours and
six hours for the controls group (5th hours severe (6%) very severe (0.5%). P. value 0.000 significant and 6th hours
severe (27.5%) very severe (6%). This study concluded that back pain reduction was statistically significant among the
experimental group compared to the control group.
