Abstract:
The management of interventional neurologic patients in the intensive care unit is based on their underlying disease for the most part. Patients with ischemic stroke are largely managed like patients with ischemic stroke who have not undergone interventional procedures, and the same is true for those with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage secondary to an arteriovenous malformation, for example.Having said this, there are some special considerations that require special mention when it comes to managing patients after catheter-based procedures.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
