What does an interventional radiology RN do?

An Interventional Radiology RN is a registered nurse who specializes in providing care to patients undergoing minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. They assist interventional radiologists during procedures, monitor patients before, during, and after interventions, and manage IVs, sedation, and medications. These nurses also educate patients about procedures, ensure safety protocols are followed, and respond to any complications that may arise. Their role is vital in coordinating patient care and supporting both the medical team and patients throughout the radiology process.
