Video Summary

In this video, Janet Friant and Dr. Rohan Kalathia discuss radial hemostasis band management. They review the anatomy of the radial artery and the available devices for band management. They mention that the bands are adjustable and have a clear see-through area with a balloon for hemostasis. They discuss the importance of proper application and removal of the bands, and the specific syringes used for deflating the balloon. They also discuss post-procedure management and complications such as radial artery occlusion, hematoma formation, and pseudoaneurysms. They provide recommendations for managing these complications and stress the importance of monitoring perfusion and dosing anticoagulation appropriately.
