Implications anesthésiologiques de l'abord radial en cardiologie interventionnelle

The development of the radial approach in interventional cardiology is one of the reasons for the increase in demands for anaesthesia services in the cardiac catheterization room. The technique in which sedation is carried out in this particular environment has gradually changed, in parallel with the development of new technologies in anaesthesia, particularly suited to achieving short sedation in spontaneous ventilation. This article evaluates this issue and suggests an updated therapeutic approach.
