Anaesthesia in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Interventions in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) requiring anaesthetic expertise are becoming routine. These interventions involve a heterogeneous patient population and take place in an offsite location. This review aims to give an insight into anaesthetic issues surrounding certain interventions and the challenges encountered in an offsite location. RECENT FIN...
متن کاملUtility of preprocedure checklists in the congenital cardiac catheterization laboratory.
OBJECTIVE Preprocedure meetings have become more commonplace in medicine but are not performed routinely in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. We sought to create, implement, and evaluate a preprocedural meeting in the form of a checklist for the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Staff attitudes and perceptions toward safety and sense of teamwork were also analyzed. DESIGN All procedur...
متن کاملPharmacotherapy in the cardiac catheterization laboratory: evolution and recent developments
Many recent innovations have been made in developing new antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs in the last few years, with a total of nine new antithrombotic drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration after the year 2000. This has revolutionized the medical therapy given to manage acute coronary syndrome and support cardiac catheterization. The concept of dual antiplatelet therapy has be...
متن کاملCoronary physiology revisited : practical insights from the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
Various coronary physiological measurements can be made in the cardiac catheterization laboratory using sensor-tipped guidewires; they include the measurement of poststenotic absolute coronary flow reserve, the relative coronary flow reserve, and the pressure-derived fractional flow reserve of the myocardium. Ambiguity regarding abnormal microcirculation has been reduced or eliminated with meas...
متن کاملRadiation safety program for the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
The Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions present a practical approach to assist cardiac catheterization laboratories in establishing a radiation safety program. The importance of this program is emphasized by the appropriate concerns for the increasing use of ionizing radiation in medical imaging, and its potential adverse effects. An overview of the assessment of radiation d...
