Preparing a Patient for Radial Artery Access
In this chapter, they discuss the process of preparing a patient for radial artery access in a clinic. They mention the use of AMLA cream for vasodilation, the ease of radial access, and the importance of the radial cocktail. They also discuss the types of catheters used, including the Tirumo glide cat and the merit word catheter. They emphasize the need to reach beyond the horizontal branch of the eutron artery to prevent embolization in the cervical vaginal branches. Finally, they mention the use of angiograms and embolize particles to treat uterine fibroids, recommending starting with 5 to 700 particles and avoiding complete stasis.
