The 18~20G needle is used to computer tomography (CT) contrast examination. Therefore, a patient has to apply a self-administering hemostasis (conventional method: CM) and often experience bleeding in the course. Thus, we developed the new disposable transparent tourniquet (TT) for reducing. This study was to compare the usefulness between the proposed transparent tourniquet and the existing hemostatic methods. A Satisfaction survey was conducted by 50 patients and 25nurses. The survey contained the satisfaction of the convenience, safety, sanitation, and wearing sensation of transparent tourniquet. We employed face-to-face interview on 5 points likert scales. And Chi-square, paired T-test were used for the statistics verification. As for the patients, the satisfaction levels were measured for each category with the gender, age. Patients evaluation, overall satisfaction high average sore used TT and there were statistical significance
by paired T-test(p<0.05). The following is the average satisfaction level for each category: 4.4±0.53 in; 4.28±0.57 in safety; 4.52±0.54 in sanitation; 4.16±0.54 in wearing sensation. So the overall satisfaction level is measured at 4.34±0.51. As for the nurses, CT work experience and the current satisfaction with tourniquet were counted as variables. The satisfaction level for each category is: 3.8±0.7 in; 3.6±0.68 in safety; 3.4±0.5 in sanitation; 3.9±0.49 in hemostasis. The overall satisfaction level is 3.8±0.3. Patients’ satisfaction levels were very high with little difference among variables. Nurses’ satisfaction levels were different with the TT depending on their work experience but their overall satisfaction was high.
This TT will be a starting point to minimizing patient's inconvenience and more studies are necessary to enhance their satisfaction.
