ZEBRA study: The Z stitch Early Bed Rest Assessment study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Safe and effective management of venous vascular access is a key component of electrophysiology (EP) procedures. Recently, the Z-stitch method has been developed for effective venous hemostasis. However, the standard postprocedure protocol often includes prolonged bed rest, which may affect patient satisfaction. The ZEBRA (Z stitch Early Bed Rest Assessment) study aims to systematically investigate and quantify patient satisfaction metrics and safety parameters associated with the early mobilization after Z-stitch placement.

Objective

This study primarily investigates whether early mobilization following Z-stitch placement in venous vascular access management during EP procedures enhances patient satisfaction without compromising safety.
