PHYSICAL CONCEPTS OF CEREBRAL ANGIOGRAPHY AND CEREBRAL ANEURYSM EMBOlIZATION AND NURSING ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS IN THE HEMODYNAMICS LABORATORY

Resumen

This paper evaluates common nursing practices related to patients undergoing cerebral angiography and embolization of cerebral aneurysms as described in the specialized literature, addressing the importance of nursing team involvement in the care of patients undergoing these hemodynamic procedures. The text outlines various aspects of nursing assistance from patient admission to discharge in the hemodynamics unit. The methodology includes a literature review highlighting care protocols, recommended practices, and specific interventions aimed at minimizing complications and promoting patient safety. Issues such as the systematization of nursing care, vital sign monitoring, pain management, infection prevention, and guidance on post-procedure care are discussed. The results indicate that well-structured, evidence-based nursing assistance significantly contributes to patient recovery and reduction of adverse events. The article emphasizes the need for further studies related to this topic, as well as the fundamental role of this category within the multidisciplinary team for faster recovery and prevention of post-intervention complications.
