PY - 2015 T2 - Principles of Critical Care, 4e AB - Interventional radiology (IR) provides a gamut of minimally invasive therapies well suited for the critical care patient population.The dictum of “smaller, faster, safer, better” is the ideal of minimally invasive image-guided therapy. In the appropriate patient, this type of therapy is invariably better tolerated than more invasive techniques.Three primary image modalities are used to guide IR procedures: fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound (US). Increasingly, hybrid suites are equipped with all three modalitiesAppropriate ICU-monitoring devices and support personnel must be available in the IR suite to best serve the critical care population.
