Abstract

Objective: Describe the implementation of nursing and monitoring artery stent system at the Intensive Care Unit 2 of Viet Duc Friendship Hospital. Describe complications and some relating factors during the artery stent storage.

The selected vessel site to place with highest rate is radial artery ( 65.7%), the lowest is the dorsal artery ( 1.01%). The average storage time is 5.5 days. Complications related to artery stent system include bleeding 10.01%, temporary needle occlusion 23.2%, wrong injection 1%, local infection 4.04%, hematoma 1.01%. Squeeze pressure and position of artery stent are related to artery stent occlusion.
