Intensive care unit management of interventional neuroradiology patients.
The management of interventional neurologic patients in the intensive care unit is based on their underlying disease for the most part. Patients with ischemic stroke are largely managed like patients with ischemic stroke who have not undergone interventional procedures, and the same is true for those with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage secondary to an arteriovenous malformation, for example.Having said this, there are some special considerations that require special mention when it comes to managing patients after catheter-based procedures.
