American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification
The American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classifica­tion (Table 1-5) is helpful in determining the patient’s eligibility for conscious sedation. It uses a 1 to 5 classification range, with 1 being a healthy patient and 5 being a moribund patient. Procedural sedation is appropriate for patients in classes 1, 2, and 3. Patients in classes 4 and higher are better suited for general anesthesia. There are several contraindications to conscious sedation that include the following:
1. Recent (<2 hour) ingestion of large food or fluid volumes
2. A physical class 4 or greater
3. A lack of support staff or monitoring equipment
4. A lack of experience/credentialing on the part of the clinician
Monitoring Parameters
Level of Consciousness.  The patient’s level of consciousness should
be assessed often before and during the procedure. The level of con­sciousness can be assessed by the patient’s response to verbal com­mands or to light tactile stimulation. Once aroused, the patient should respond appropriately to verbal commands. The nurse or operator can assess this easily by periodically talking to the patient and listening to his or her response. When the patient’s only response is reflex with­drawal from painful stimuli, deep sedation is evident, and special care must be taken to ensure patency of the air way, proper ventilation, and hemodynamic stability.
Pulmona ry  Ventilation.  Pulmonary ventilation can be monitored
by the observation of spontaneous respiratory activity or, when pos­sible, auscultation of breath sounds. During certain invasive proce­dures, direct monitoring of the respiratory rate is often difficult because of sterile drapes and equipment.
Oxygenation.  Continuous assessment of the patient’s blood oxygen
saturation by pulse oximetry should be a part of any conscious seda­tion monitoring and assessment protocol. This monitor is only a tool and not a replacement for direct observation of the patient. There can

be a 1-minute delay between the onset of hypoxia and the decrease in the monitor reading.
End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring measures exhaled carbon dioxide and is most commonly used in intubated patients receiving mechanical ventilation, but it is also used in nonintubated patients undergoing moderate or deep sedation. The measurement of end-tidal carbon dioxide (E
), called capnography, is useful as an adjunct to
tCO2
other monitoring methods in detecting hypoventilation before pulse oximetry indicates oxygen desaturation. It is a more sensitive gauge of hypoventilation than visual observation. In procedural sedation, side stream capnography equipment usually consists of sampling probes to measure gases from the nose and sometimes the mouth. Additional oxygen can be administered through the same cannula.
The Practice Guidelines for Sedation and Analgesia by Non­Anesthesiologists published by the American Society of Anesthesiolo­gists (ASA) outlines the following areas for patient monitoring during moderate or deep sedation states: “During moderate or deep sedation,
the adequacy of ventilation shall be evaluated by continual observation of qualitative clinical signs and monitoring for the presence of exhaled carbon dioxide unless precluded or invalidated by the nature of the patient, procedure, or equipment.” The ASA amended its Standards for
Basic Anesthetic Monitoring to include mandatory exhaled dioxide E
monitoring during both moderate and deep sedation to its exist-
tCO2
ing requirement.

Sedative agents may cause arrhythmias and hypotension. Although continuous ECG monitoring is performed during preproce­dural patient preparations, blood pressure should also be monitored often at 1- to 2-minute intervals during the onset of sedation and 5- to 10-minute intervals during the procedure. Hemodynamics should return to baseline before discharge.
The Aldrete Scoring System (Table 1-6) can be used to assess the effects of sedation on the patient’s major systems (neurologic, respira­tory, and circulatory). A score of 0, 1, or 2 is given for level of activity, level of consciousness, respiratory ability, blood pressure, and color.
Drugs for Conscious Sedation
First-line drugs and dosages for conscious sedation are listed in
Table 1-7.
Postprocedure Monitoring and Discharge Criteria
Patients who receive conscious sedation should be monitored for 1 to 2 hours before discharge. During this time the patient should be assessed and monitored with the same parameters used in the prepro­cedural assessment. When the patient returns to baseline, discharge is appropriate. The following discharge criteria should be met before the patient is sent back to the floor or home:
1. The Aldrete score has returned to baseline (summed Aldrete scores
of 9 or 10).
2. At least 2 hours have elapsed since the last dose of sedative agents.
3. Vital signs have returned to baseline.
4. Ventilation (respiratory rate and oxygen saturation) has returned to
baseline.
5. The patient is mentally alert, and all protective reflexes are
intact.
Outpatients who are being discharged to home should be able to ambulate appropriately for their age and condition. An escort should

Postcatheterization Check-Up
The operator should check on the patient several hours after the pro­cedure. Vital signs should be normal. Low blood pressure is usually due to diuresis and responds to normal saline. Tachycardia with low blood pressure indicates blood loss until proven otherwise. The arte­rial access site should be checked for pain and hematoma. The opera­tor should check the groin site and distal pulses in legs or the wrist for loss of pulse. Urine output should be > reflect unsatisfactory volume replacement or early onset of contrast­induced renal failure. A cool or painful extremity requires immediate assessment to determine whether thrombus, spasm, or vasoconstric­tion is responsible for arterial occlusion. Limb ischemia including the arm for radial cases or an enlarging hematoma requires urgent con­sultation with a vascular surgeon, repeat angiography, and at times an urgent return to the catheterization laboratory.

Angiogram Review
To provide the patient and family with an understanding of the coro­nary artery disease or other findings, a preliminary schematic diagram of the heart and coronary arteries can be provided. A similar diagram should be put in the chart to help others understand the findings. A catheterization instruction book is helpful and may contain a blank standard diagram (Fig. 1-4). The booklet explains the catheterization procedure and the possible meaning of various findings on the coro­nary angiogram. In some cases, reviewing the actual coronary cine­angiograms with the patient and family members may be helpful. After discharge the patient may wish to see the angiograms to understand the disease better and to ask questions and receive answers specifi­cally with regard to future treatment (after the operator discusses the findings and plans with the referring or primary care physician). Taking the time to explain the findings by referring directly to the diagram or cineangiographic film is rewarding. “No one ever took time to explain my heart problem this way, and now I understand what is wrong” is a frequent comment. The risk of a patient becoming alarmed or depressed after viewing the cineangiogram has not been borne out by experience with thousands of patients and their families. The addi­tional burden of taking the time to show the angiograms to the patient is worth the effort. In some busy laboratories, this approach may not be feasible, but with images on disks, almost every laboratory has an open computer to share the angiograms with the patient. The operator should always discuss the findings and possible recommendations with the primary physician first because catheterization is principally a consultative service.

Contrast Media Reactions
The Committee on Safety of Contrast Media of the International Society of Radiology reported that in more than 300,000 patients the overall incidence of adverse reaction was 5% or less. Adverse reactions were found in 10% to 12% of patients with a history of allergy and in 15% of patients with reported reaction on previous x-ray examination. From these reports, major reactions do not tend to recur on reexamination, whereas minor reactions are more likely to be repeated. There are three types of contrast allergies (Box 1-4): (1) cutaneous and mucosal manifestations, (2) smooth muscle and minor anaphylactoid responses, and (3) cardiovascular and major anaphylactoid responses. Management of contrast reactions is summarized in Table 1-9.
Major reactions involving laryngeal or pulmonar y edema are often accompanied by minor, or less severe, reactions. Although some reactions to a pretest contrast dose may be violent (but rarely life threatening), pretesting has been found to be of no value in determin­ing who will have an adverse reaction.
Full emergency resuscitation equipment and a trained team should always be available for any patient receiving contrast media. Nonionic, low-osmolar ionic, or iso-osmolar contrast media have replaced ionic high-osmolar contrast media to minimize the chance of adverse contrast-media-related events (e.g., allergic reaction or contrast-induced nephropathy).
Patients reporting allergic reactions to contrast media should be premedicated with prednisone and diphenhydramine (Benadryl). The routine for the laboratory may var y, but common dosages include

60 mg of prednisone the night before and 60 mg of prednisone the morning of the procedure, along with 50 mg of oral Benadryl given at the time of call to the catheterization laboratory. Pretreatment with corticosteroids to alleviate reactions to IV contrast media has been found to be helpful in reducing all types of reactions except those characterized predominantly by hives. Premedication may not com­pletely prevent the occurrence of adverse reactions. Routine treatment of patients with prior allergic reactions with an H
blocker (e.g., cimeti-
2
dine) does not appear to have any benefit. Patients with known prior anaphylactoid reactions to contrast dye should be pretreated with ste­roids and an H
blocker.

Protamine Reactions
Although protamine is used widely for reversing systemic hepariniza­tion after cardiac catheterization, major reactions simulating anaphy­laxis can occur, albeit rarely. Minor protamine reactions may appear as back and flank pain or flushing with peripheral vasodilation and low blood pressure. Major reactions involve marked facial flushing and vasomotor collapse, which may be fatal. Patients taking NPH insulin have an increased sensitivity to protamine. The incidence of major protamine reactions in NPH insulin-dependent diabetics is 27% compared with 0.5% in patients with no history of insulin use. Diabetic patients receiving NPH insulin and patients with allergies to fish should not be given protamine after cardiac catheterization. If use of protamine is necessary for these patients, it should be administered cautiously in anticipation of a major reaction.
Contrast-Induced Renal Failure (Contrast-Induced Nephropathy)
Patients with diabetes or renal insufficiency or patients who are dehy­drated from any cause are at risk for contrast-induced renal failure. Advance preparations to limit contrast-induced renal failure include hydration and maintenance of large-volume urine flow ( These patients should be hydrated intravenously the night before the procedure. After the catheterization procedure, IV fluids should be continued liberally unless intravascular volume overload is a problem. Furosemide (Lasix), mannitol, and calcium channel blockers are not helpful in reducing contrast-induced renal failure (Box 1-5). In the

recovery area and medical floor, the patient’s urine output should be monitored. If output falls and is not responsive to increased IV fluids, renal insufficiency should be suspected. A consultation with a nephrol­ogist may be helpful. Nonionic or low-osmolar contrast agents have a lower incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy than ionic agents.
The Catheterization Laboratory
Insulin-Dependent Diabetic Patients
For patients taking subcutaneous insulin (NPH, regular), an overnight fast with their normal dose of insulin could cause hypoglycemia. The dose of NPH insulin should be decreased by 50% for patients coming to the catheterization laboratory when they are NPO in the early morning. Recall that patients receiving NPH insulin are at higher risk for protamine reactions.
Diabetic Patients Using Metformin
Metformin (Glucophage) is an analog of phenformin, an oral antihy­perglycemic agent that was withdrawn from the market because of the risk of lactic acidosis. Rare cases of metformin-associated lactic aci­dosis have been reported in diabetic patients with chronic renal insuf­ficiency. Contraindications and precautions in the product literature state the following:
Parenteral contrast studies with iodinated materials can lead to acute
renal failure and have been associated with lactic acidosis in patients
receiving Glucophage. Therefore in patients in whom any such study
is planned, Glucophage should be withheld for at least 48 hours
before and 48 hours subsequent to the procedure and reinstituted
only after renal function has been reevaluated and found to be
normal.
Metformin is contraindicated in patients with renal dysfunction, as determined by elevated serum creatinine levels. There is no evi­dence that withholding metformin for 48 hours before a contrast pro­cedure in patients with normal renal function provides any clinical benefit.
Guidelines for Use of Metformin and Iodinated Contrast Material (Adopted from the University of Kentucky)
A. Elective procedures
1. If renal function is normal (serum creatinine <1.5 mg/dL), con-
trast material may be administered parenterally without discon­tinuing metformin before the study. The patient should be hydrated.
2. After the study, the patient should consult with his or her physi­cian before resuming metformin. In most cases, the patient may resume metformin after 48 hours unless there is evidence of acute renal failure or the patient is at high risk for renal failure related to the following: a. Low cardiac output b. Hypovolemia c. Contrast administration (<72 hours) or excess contrast load
>3 mg/kg
d. Cyclosporine therapy
3. If renal function is abnormal (serum creatinine 1.5 mg/dL), the contrast study should be postponed for patients who have received metformin within 48 hours.
B. Emergency procedures
1. If renal function is normal, the study may proceed as with elec­tive procedures.
https://t.me/med1917
2. If renal function is abnormal, the relative risks versus benefits must be considered and the following precautions taken: a. Discontinue metformin. b. Hydrate the patient during and after the procedure (IV saline
1 mL/kg/hr). c. Increase urine output (if possible). d. Minimize the volume of low-osmolality contrast material. e. Monitor renal function closely after the procedure. f. If acute renal failure occurs after the procedure, do not resume
metformin. g. Monitor the patient for signs of lactic acidosis (e.g., abdominal
pain, obtundation, hypotension, hypercapnia) when metfor-
min is resumed. Arterial blood gas analysis and measure-
ment of plasma lactate, glucose, and ketones (including
β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase) confirm the diagnosis.
Early hemodialysis may be needed.

Team Approach to Cardiac Catheterization
Physician Viewpoint
A new person in the cardiac catheterization laboratory should observe the variety of catheterization procedures for at least 10 consecutive cases. This observation period gives the new member of the catheter­ization team a chance to appreciate the timing, rhythm, and recurrent steps that are required of each member as an integral part of the labo­ratory. Each laboratory has an individual routine that may vary among operators. No one laboratory routine is best, but learning the routine and joining the team smoothly are important first steps.
The new operator-in-training learns that the attending physician is ultimately responsible for all aspects of the procedure and must check each step of the procedure to ensure accuracy and safety. A similar approach can be recommended for new nurses and technicians.
Learning the “Routine” Overview
1. The patient is seen by a member of the cardiac catheterization
team, indications for the procedure are discussed, risks are explained, consent is obtained, special preparations are made, and orders and chart notes are written.
2. The patient arrives in the laboratory, greeted by the nurses, moved
from a holding area into the angiographic suite, and prepared and draped in a sterile fashion. The physician may or may not partici­pate with the nurses in the draping.
3. Arterial and venous access is obtained depending on the patient’s
clinical problem and the routine of the laboratory.
4. Right-sided heart catheterization, coronar y angiography, and left-
sided ventriculography are performed as indicated by the clinical situation with the appropriate hemodynamic and angiographic measurements. PCI may proceed ad hoc if the patient has con­sented in advance.
5. At the conclusion of data collection, angiographic study, and pos-
sible intervention, the catheters are removed.
6. For femoral access procedures, hemostasis may be obtained in
the lab with a vascular closure device (VCD). Alternatively, the patient may be transferred to the holding area where the sheath is pulled, and hemostasis is obtained with manual compression. The patient is returned to his or her room. For 5-F to 6-F femoral sheaths,

7. Several hours after the procedure, a member of the catheterization

recovery usually requires 4 hours or more of bed rest. For proce­dures using sheaths of 5 F or less or procedures in which hemosta­sis is obtained with a VCD, 1 to 2 hours of bed rest with 4 hours of observation before discharge is usually sufficient. For radial artery access and hemostasis, the patient can sit in a reclining chair and after premedication has worn off can be discharged (usually within 2 to 3 hours).
team checks the patient’s arterial access site(s), identifies (and treats) any problems that may have occurred, and presents the preliminary findings again to the patient and family after discussion with the referring physician. Unless the operator is also the primary care physician, the catheterization team should discuss results and management options with the patient’s primary care physician before taking the patient’s treatment into their own hands.
for further procedures are made after the cardiac catheteriza­tion data have been reviewed by the attending and referring physicians.
Nurse and Technician Viewpoint—The Catheterization Team
The composition of a catheterization team varies among laboratories. The smallest functioning unit would consist of a physician, an assisting physician or nurse, a nurse circulator or recording technician assigned to the laboratory, and a nurse outside the laboratory able to assist. For more specialized procedures, the team is increased appropriately.
Personnel are trained specifically to provide technical support necessary for the safe performance of cardiac catheterization pro­cedures. Several disciplines are called on to provide this support. Each member of the team assumes an important role during the procedure.
Personnel and Functions
1. A circulating nurse or technologist must be capable of assisting the
physician in all aspects of care of the patient, including routine cardiovascular emergency care.
2. A scrub nurse or technologist is needed at the x-ray table to assist
the operating physician with all equipment and supplies used in catheterization. This person assists in the exchanging of catheters and other specialized maneuvers.
3. A radiologic technologist is trained in x-ray principles related
to cardiovascular procedures, cineangiography, fluoroscopy, and the use of power contrast injectors and digital cineangiographic imaging systems.
4. A monitoring and recording technologist is responsible for monitor-
ing and recording the ECG and hemodynamic data and keeping the physician apprised of changes in cardiac pressures and rhythms. The technician must be able to interpret pressure and ECG waveforms and operate all physiologic recording equipment.
Rule for Success: Communication in the Catheterization Laboratory
Communication among team members is critical. Communication at the beginning of the day with team members will improve efficiency. Keeping the physician informed as to the status of his or her procedure will enhance his or her ability to manage time and minimize delays in arriving to the laboratory. Likewise, communication from the
