An Anesthesiologist's View of Tumor Ablation in the Radiology Suite.

The advent of radiology image-guided tumor ablation procedures has opened up a new era in minimally invasive procedures. Using CT, MRI, ultrasound, and other modalities, radiologists and surgeons can now ablate a tumor through percutaneous entry sites. ⋯ Anesthesiologists play a critical role in optimizing outcome in these patients. Knowledge by anesthesiologists of procedural goals, technology used, and inherit safety concerns of anesthetizing patients in the radiology suite are all critical to patients and proceduralists.

AbstractThe advent of radiology image-guided tumor ablation procedures has opened up a new era in minimally invasive procedures. Using CT, MRI, ultrasound, and other modalities, radiologists and surgeons can now ablate a tumor through percutaneous entry sites. What traditionally was done in an operating room via large open incisions, with multiple days in the hospital recovering, is now becoming an outpatient procedure via these new techniques. Anesthesiologists play a critical role in optimizing outcome in these patients. Knowledge by anesthesiologists of procedural goals, technology used, and inherit safety concerns of anesthetizing patients in the radiology suite are all critical to patients and proceduralists.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
