Study Notes
Pre-Procedure Evaluation
- Pre-procedure patient evaluation and management excludes elements such as unrelated medical history or procedures not directly affecting the upcoming intervention.
Platelet Count Recommendation
- Recommended platelet count for patients undergoing interventional radiology procedures is typically above 50,000 cells per microliter to minimize bleeding risk.
Baseline Vital Signs
- Baseline vital signs include heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and respiratory rate. Non-essential factors like subjective pain levels or non-standardized parameters are not recorded.
Color Coordination Purpose
- Color coordination for needles in interventional radiology helps identify gauge sizes and needle types quickly, enhancing efficiency and reducing procedural errors.
Patient Hydration Timing
- Patients should be hydrated prior to the procedure, ideally several hours in advance, to ensure adequate renal function and mitigate risks associated with contrast agents used during interventions.
