Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers a safe cancer treatment option. Nurses play a vital role in patient care before, during, and after RFA to improve outcomes and comfort.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Procedures
  • Nursing Care

Background:

  • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and predictable treatment for specific cancer patients with limited options.
  • Nurses require comprehensive knowledge of RFA phases for optimal patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedure.
  • To outline nurses' responsibilities in managing patients undergoing RFA.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedure.
  • Identification of nursing interventions across all RFA phases.

Main Results:

  • Pre-RFA nursing care includes patient education and hydration.
  • Intra-procedure nursing involves pad placement, vital sign monitoring, and medication administration.
