Cardiac catheterisation using the Sones technique can be safely performed as a day case procedure. This approach significantly reduces costs while maintaining patient safety and achieving high discharge rates.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Traditional inpatient cardiac catheterisation involves overnight stays, increasing healthcare costs.
  • The Sones technique is a common method for cardiac catheterisation.
  • Evaluating day case procedures is crucial for optimizing healthcare resource utilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety and feasibility of cardiac catheterisation using the Sones technique as a day case procedure.
  • To evaluate the economic implications of same-day discharge versus overnight hospitalization for cardiac catheterisation.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 1662 consecutive patients admitted for cardiac catheterisation.
  • Cardiac catheterisation was planned as a day case for 855 patients using the Sones technique.

  • Data collected on discharge status, reasons for overnight stay, and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • 95% of patients undergoing day case cardiac catheterisation were discharged the same day.
    • Only 5% required overnight hospitalization, with most cases unrelated to the procedure itself.
    • No serious complications or deaths were reported, indicating a high safety profile.

    Conclusions:

    • Cardiac catheterisation via the Sones technique is a safe day case procedure.
    • Day case cardiac catheterisation offers significant cost-efficiency compared to overnight stays.
    • This approach represents a viable strategy for reducing healthcare expenditure without compromising patient outcomes.
