Date	Event	Description
24 July 2013	Review declared as stable	This review will be assessed for further updating in 2018 due to a current lack of new evidence.
24 June 2011	New search has been performed	A new search was performed in February 2011 and brought up to date prior to publication in June 2011. No new studies were found and the conclusions remain unchanged. The previous review identified an ongoing study that has now been completed (Cook 2007). It is now 'awaiting classification' as efforts to obtain data from author contact have been unsuccessful to date. The review was converted to new RevMan 5 format and the 'Risk of bias' tables were completed. The Discussion section has been revised to include the results of a 2009 survey of clinical practice (Rolley 2010) and a recently published nursing clinical practice guideline for people undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (Rolley 2011). Discussion of the risk of a vasovagal event has been updated and includes a new reference (Juergens 2008). Errors noted in the 'Characteristics of included studies' table have been corrected as follows: Characteristics of included studies for Fulton 2000a, Fulton 2000b, Fulton 2000c ‐ all had stated "adequate allocation concealment" instead of "unclear allocation concealment" as per Fulton 2000 table entry (which is the same study). Vish 2001b was incorrectly identified as Vish 2000b. All forest plots automatically amended to show the correct study ID. This has not resulted in any changes in the meta‐analysis The title was changed (original title 'Pain relief for the removal of femoral sheath in interventional cardiology adult patients') to improve retrieval using keyword searching.
