Cerebral Angiography

Cerebral angiography is a radiological study used to examine blood vessels in the brain after injecting iodinated contrast media. There are several methods available, with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) considered the gold standard due to its high image quality. Other options include CT angiography, vascular ultrasound, and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). CPR is an emergency procedure performed to manually preserve brain function and circulation until further measures can restore spontaneous breathing and blood flow in a person experiencing cardiac arrest.

EQUIPMENTS
 Catheters  Surgical blade
 Arterial sheath  Saline
 Medicut  Disposable syringes
 Guidewires  Local anesthesia
 Contrast  Heparin
 Connector/100 cm tubing  Surgical gloves
 Elastroplast

Preparation
1. Nil orally 4-6 hrs
2. On trolley
3. In hospital gown
4. Groin shave
5. Records
6. Should be well hydrated
7. Should void before procedure
8. Peripheral pulses marked
9. IV line in place
10. Informed consent
Procedure
1. Gaining arterial access 6. Hard copy
2. Selective arterial catheterization 7. Patient may be sedated to reduced anxiety
3. Image acquisition 8. Monitor of vital signs
4. Closure of arterial access. 9. Local anesthetic is usually used in the area where the
5. Post processing catheter is to be inserted.
10. Most common femoral artery

1. Small incision given, medicut is inserted into the artery.


2. Fluoroscopy is used to guide the needle to the proper position
3. Needle is then removed after placing guide wire in the artery and vascular sheath is inserted over the guide wire.
4. Catheter is then inserted along the guide wire through the sheath.
5. When the catheter is in the correct position, the wire is pulled out and dye is injected through the catheter.
6. Images are acquired during contrast injection.
7. Injections can be made directly into the artery of interest (selective arteriography).
Post Procedural Care
1. After the catheter is removed compression is applied to the puncture site.
2. Bes rest for minimum of 4 hrs
3. During the rest, patient is monitored and vital sign like peripheral pulse like distal to puncture are regularly.
4. Extremity is also checked for warmth, color numbness to ensure circulation has not been disrupted.
