    A novel device enables effective C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy in intensive care units (ICUs). This innovation allows critical patient monitoring and life support to continue during imaging procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Intensive Care Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Intensive care units (ICUs) require advanced imaging capabilities for patient management.
    • Standard ICU bed designs often impede the effective use of C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy.
    • Maintaining continuous patient monitoring and life support during procedures is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an inexpensive, easily constructed device to facilitate C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy in the ICU.
    • To ensure patient monitoring and life-support apparatus remain attached and functional during C-arm use.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and construction of a novel C-arm positioning aid for ICU beds.
    • Evaluation of the device's compatibility with standard ICU monitoring and life-support equipment.

    Main Results:

    • The described device successfully overcomes ICU bed design limitations for C-arm use.
    • The apparatus allows for unimpeded C-arm positioning without compromising patient care.

    Conclusions:

    • This easily constructed device enhances the utility of C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy in ICUs.
    • It provides a practical solution for integrating advanced imaging with critical care support.
