Only one previous study has been performed to assess the efficacy of pressure dressings after removal of a femoral artery sheath. The results of a 739-patient randomised study show there is no benefit in the routine application of pressure dressings after arterial sheath removal. This practice can be abolished with no negative impact on patient safety.
