    Pre-procedure evaluation

    Assessment and management steps before a medical procedure.

    Recommended platelet count

    The optimal platelet count for interventional procedures is between 50,000 and 100,000.

    Baseline vital signs

    Essential measurements recorded during patient monitoring before procedures.

    Needle color coordination

    System used to denote the gauge size of needles in interventional radiology.

    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.
