This document summarizes a study evaluating the association between activated clotting time (ACT) levels and time to hemostasis and radial artery patency following radial artery catheterization. The study found that higher ACT levels were weakly correlated with longer times to hemostasis, with a difference of only 10 minutes between low and high ACT groups. ACT levels were not significantly associated with radial artery patency. The conclusions were that ACT levels do not have a clinically significant impact on outcomes and that there is no need to consider protamine sulfate treatment following radial procedures.
