Study Notes

Radiographer's Role

During the procedure, a radiographer should ensure the patient's safety and comfort, and monitor the equipment and patient's response.
A primary task for a radiographer before the procedure is to explain the procedure to the patient and obtain informed consent.

Preparation and Procedure

General preparation before a procedure includes ensuring the patient's identity and consent, and preparing the equipment and room.
Before a fluoroscopic examination, the patient should be prepared by removing any metal objects, and the radiographer should ensure the patient's privacy and dignity.
A radiographer needs to ensure the patient's safety and comfort after the procedure, and provide aftercare instructions.

Percutaneous Drainage

The primary objective of percutaneous drainage is to drain pus or fluid collection from the body.
The recommended patient preparation for percutaneous drainage is to ensure the patient's fasting status, and to provide conscious sedation if necessary.
Percutaneous drainage is usually performed using imaging guidance, such as fluoroscopy, CT, or ultrasound.
If the pus or fluid collection needs to be drained for several days, a drainage catheter may be inserted and secured.
Patients should be cautious about the risk of bleeding, infection, and catheter blockage after undergoing percutaneous drainage.
During the aftercare following percutaneous drainage, the radiographer should monitor the patient's condition, and provide pain management and wound care.

Fluoroscopy Room

The purpose of the stopper near the II in the fluoroscopy room is to prevent the patient from falling off the table.
The Room Cabinet in the fluoroscopy room includes sterile gloves, needles, and syringes.
A common material used as an accessory for sterile procedures in the fluoroscopy room is sterile drape.
The fluoroscopy room is equipped with various accessories, but a pillow is not typically used for non-vascular IR procedures.

Interventions and Procedures

Non-contrast CT Brain is applicable to procedures such as stroke, cerebral vasculature, and brain tumors.
The common contraindication for performing FNAC and Tru Cut Core Biopsy is bleeding diathesis.
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and Tru Cut Core Biopsy are considered minimal invasive procedures.
The gold standard for cell differentiation in FNAC and Tru Cut Core Biopsy is a cytologist's interpretation.
Common sites for FNAC or Biopsy include the thyroid, breast, and lymph nodes.
Before performing FNAC and Tru Cut Core Biopsy, the patient's bleeding status and allergy history should be considered.
Major complications associated with percutaneous drainage include bleeding, infection, and organ injury.

Patient Safety and Concerns

US/CT/MRI/Endoscopy has replaced most of the fluoroscopic procedures in the current practice due to its increased safety and accuracy.
Patients typically encountered in the Fluoroscopy room include those with gastrointestinal, genitourinary, or respiratory conditions.
A patient safety concern highlighted in the text regarding examinations in limited sessions is the risk of radiation exposure.
Difficult exams that might be encountered in the Fluoroscopy room include pediatric, geriatric, and wheelchair-bound patients.
