Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview01:28

Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview

Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...
Healing II: Complications01:24

Healing II: Complications

Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...

Cardiac Catheterization IV: Nursing Management

Nursing responsibilities before cardiac catheterization include:Assess for allergies and establish baseline health status.Before cardiac catheterization, assess the patient for allergies to contrast dye. Perform a comprehensive baseline assessment, including vital signs, heart and breath sounds, and a neurovascular assessment of the extremities, noting distal pulses, skin color, and temperature. Instruct the patient to fast for 8-12 hours before the procedure. Evaluate baseline laboratory...

Peripheral Artery Disease V: Postoperative Nursing Management

During the postoperative period, it is crucial to focus on maintaining circulation, identifying and managing potential complications, and planning for discharge.Nursing AssessmentVital signs monitoring: Regularly monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to detect early signs of complications such as bleeding and infection.Circulation assessment: Monitor pulses, perform Doppler assessments, and check capillary refill, color, temperature, and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Radiation-induced skin injuries (RISI) in interventional procedures have been documented since the 1990s.
  • Underreporting of RISI suggests a significant lack of awareness among healthcare professionals and patients.
  • Severe injuries can occur, particularly in complex procedures like chronic total occlusion interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of severe radiation-induced skin injury during multiple percutaneous coronary interventions.
  • To summarize current knowledge on radiation dosimetry, risk factors, and management of RISI.
  • To raise awareness and highlight the importance of reporting and prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of severe skin injury in a patient undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions.
  • Literature review of radiation dosimetry, risk factors for skin injury, and management strategies.
  • Inclusion of information on the International Atomic Energy Agency's reporting system.

Main Results:

  • A severe case of radiation-induced skin injury is presented.
  • Existing literature on radiation dosimetry and factors contributing to skin injury is summarized.
  • Guidance on detection, avoidance, and management of radiation skin injuries is provided.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical need to increase awareness of radiation-induced skin injuries in interventional procedures.
  • Adherence to dosimetry guidelines and proactive management are essential for preventing and treating these injuries.
  • Reporting systems, like the IAEA's, are crucial for understanding the true incidence and improving patient safety.
