摘要:
In critical care, nurses are expected to react quickly to urgent and emergent situations. It is imperative that nurses have the ability to recognize signs and symptoms in patients that require diagnostic intervention. This article begins with a brief description of angiography and its role in the critical care environment. This is followed by a description and comparison of several modalities used to evaluate the cerebral and carotid vessels. A related case study, from a patient's perspective, provides the context for this discussion.
