Anesthesiology guidelines and interdisciplinary communication drive high-quality care and safety during neuroradiological interventions.
Highlights the importance of implementing anesthesiology practice guidelines and fostering interdisciplinary communication during neuroradiological interventions to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.
Supports guideline adherence and team communication in neuroradiology anesthesia; leaves open prospective studies to quantify outcome benefits.
Interventional radiology is a rapidly growing discipline with an expanding variety of indications and techniques in pediatric and adult patients. Accordingly, the number of procedures during which monitoring either under sedation or under general anesthesia is needed is increasing. In order to ensure high-quality care as well as patient comfort and safety, implementation of anes-thesiology practice guidelines in line with institutional radiology practice guidelines is paramount [1]. However, practice guidelines are no substitute for lack of communi-cation between specialties. Interdisciplinary indications within neurosciences call for efficient co-operation among radiology, neurology, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, anesthesiology and intensive care. Anesthesia team and intensive care personnel should be informed early and be involved in coordinated planning so that optimal results can be achieved under minimized risks and pre-arranged complication management.

Lederer et al. (2016) conducted a review in neuroradiological interventions. anesthesiology practice guidelines was evaluated. Implementation of anesthesiology practice guidelines and interdisciplinary communication are paramount for ensuring high-quality care and safety during neuroradiological interventions.
