Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

189
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
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...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Summary

Radiation therapy is a common cancer treatment that lasts several months. Understanding the patient experience is crucial for oncology nurses to ensure treatment adherence and manage side effects.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • Radiation therapy is a cornerstone of cancer treatment, used in over half of all cancer patients.
  • The treatment process is lengthy and imposes significant physical, mental, and logistical burdens on patients.
  • Patient adherence and managing late-occurring side effects are critical aspects of care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of understanding the comprehensive patient experience during radiation therapy.
  • To highlight the role of oncology nurses in supporting patients throughout their treatment journey.
  • To underscore the need for vigilance regarding side effects, even post-treatment.

Main Methods:

  • This abstract does not detail specific methods.
