A three-month quality improvement project evaluated a new bedrest practice for transfemoral diagnostic cardiac catheterizations using 4, 5, and 6-French sheaths with manual removal. The new bedrest practice reduced the total length of bedrest to two-hours and elevated the head of bed to 60 degrees after one hour of bedrest.
