Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Factors associated with pain during vascular access intervention therapy.
The objective of this study is to investigate and compare factors associated with pain during vascular access intervention therapy. ⋯ The reason for severe pain with use of the semi-compliant balloon as compared with the other types might have been due to its characteristics during inflation, as increased diameter leads to an increase in pressure. Mismatching of balloon diameter to vascular diameter may also increase pain.
