The Role of Nurses in Caring for Patients Undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) under Anesthesia
Keywords:
MRI examination, role of nurses, anesthesiaAbstract
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is diagnostic medical imaging equipment widely used nowadays due to its high-resolution images. However, the tunnel-like structure of the machine can cause some patients to be unsuccessful in the examination and need for sedation. MRI nurses play a crucial role in these patients by providing comprehensive nursing care throughout the examination process until discharge. Nursing care before the examination focuses on preparing the patient physically and mentally for the examination. During the examination, being aware of the patient’s condition changes and complications are essential to ensure patient safety and get high-quality images to interpret results accurately and plan treatment effectively. Nursing care after the examination focuses on full recovery and preparing patients and families for discharge. This article presents nursing care for patients undergoing MRI scans under sedation, covering standardized nursing process to achieve the best outcomes for patients.
