A 4-year-old child returns from cardiac catheterization that was performed through the groin area. In what position should the nurse place the child during the immediate postoperative period?
3) Supine, with the bed flat The child should be kept flat for 6 hours during the postprocedure period to avoid flexion at the hip, slowing blood flow and promoting clot formation in this area. If the vascular enclosure device (Angio-Seal) is implanted at the catheter insertion site, the postprocedure period is shortened to 2 hours. The semi-Fowler position should be avoided because the hips are flexed. There is no reason to put the child in Trendelenburg position. The side-lying position with knees flexed would flex the hips also.
