Pain level

Patients' pain is evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) .The VAS is a 10 cm long ruler drawn horizontally or vertically. Patients were told that 0 on the scale means no pain and 10 means unbearable pain at the highest level. The patient was asked to mark the point on this scale indicating the level of pain they felt.

Time frame: One minute after femoral sheath removal

Anxiety level

Patients' anxiety is evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is a 10 cm long ruler drawn horizontally or vertically. patients were told that 0 on the scale means no anxiety and 10 means unbearable anxiety at the highest level. The patient was asked to mark the point on this scale indicating the level of anxiety they felt.

Time frame: One minute after femoral sheath removal

Patient satisfaction

Patients' anxiety is evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is a 10 cm long ruler drawn horizontally or vertically. It was explained to the patient that the number 0 indicated no satisfaction with the application and the number 10 indicated the highest level of satisfaction and the patient was asked to mark on the ruler.
