Monitoring the effectiveness of hemostatic interventions is crucial. Nurses need to:
- Assess Wound Sites: Regularly check for signs of ongoing bleeding or hematoma formation. - Monitor Vital Signs: Changes in vital signs, such as a drop in blood pressure or an increase in heart rate, can indicate internal bleeding. - Laboratory Tests: Frequent checks of coagulation profiles, such as PT/INR and aPTT, can help in assessing the patient's clotting status.
