Hi,

Catheterization hematoma patient may need to treated with application of pressure in the emergency department.

At home care measure are :

1.Do not do any strenuous activity.
2.Avoid climbing stairs.
3.Do not lift anything heavy.
4.If the puncture site is in your arm or wrist, do not lie on that arm.
5.If your puncture site is in the groin, avoid straining at bowel movements.
6..Do not scrub the site when bathing. It is fine to get it wet after your healthcare provider says it is OK, but do not scrub it or massage it.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
