Anesthesia in Interventional Radiological Procedures – A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Interventional radiology (IR) came a long way in the path of development of minimally invasive therapies. Need for anesthesia and sedation for some of these procedures have increased as it cause significant discomfort to the patient and requires patient immobility. As recommended by The Royal College of Radiologists and the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, use of sedation anywhere within the hospitals should be under the direct monitoring and vigilance of Department of Anesthesiology. There are a few procedures in interventional radiology that are performed under sedation or monitored anesthesia care but general anesthesia provides improved visualization of structures, temporary apnea and absence of patient movements, optimal image acquisition and treatment delivery. The purpose of IV sedation is not just to provide analgesia and comfort to the patient, anxiolysis and ensure that the patient does not move but also to rapidly reduce sedation when neurologic testing is required.
