<![CDATA[AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas penekanan mekanikal bantal pasir 2,3 kg antara 2, 4, 6 jam terhadapkomplikasi. Metode penelitian randomized controlled trial, dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 90 orang. Kelompok intervensi Imenggunakan bantal pasir 2,3 kg 2 jam, intervensi II 4 jam, kelompok kontrol 6 jam, pengukuran dilakukan setiap 2 jam. Hasilpenelitian tidak ada mengalami perdarahan pada semua kelompok, tidak ada perbedaan insiden haematom diantara kelompok(p= 0,866; α= 0,05). Ada perbedaan rasa nyaman diantara kelompok pada observasi 4 jam (p= 0,003; α= 0,05) dan observasi 6jam (p= 0,0005; α= 0,05). Rekomendasi penelitian ini adalah perlunya modifikasi Standar Prosedur Operasional penggunaanbantal pasir 2,3 kg sebagai penekan mekanikal dari 6 jam menjadi 2 jam, sebab tidak meningkatkan komplikasi, akan tetapimeningkatkan rasa nyaman klien.Kata kunci: Bantal pasir 2,3 kg, haematom, pasien katetrisasi jantung, perdarahan, rasa tidak nyamanAbstractThis study was to determine the effectiveness of the mechanical suppression of sandbag 2.3 kg between the 2, 4, 6 hoursagainst complications. The research design was randomized controlled trial study, where 90 patients as sample. A 2.3 kgsandbag was applied for two hours for the first group, four hours for the second groups, and six hours for the control groups,measurements were taken every 2 hours. The results showed that no patient has any bleeding, not difference the incidence ofhematoma between groups (p= 0.866; α= 0.05). That the differences of discomfort between groups were found after 4 hours(p= 0.003; α= 0.05), and after 6 hours (p= 0.0005; α=0.05). It is recommended that Standard Operational Proceduremodification required from six hours into two hours in using a 2.3 kg sandbag as a mechanical pressure, because there is noincrease of incidence of complications, on the otherhand an improvement of comfort level is detected.Keywords: 2.3 kg sandbag, hematoma, patients having cardiac catheterization, bleeding, discomfort]]>
