Potentiated anesthesia in angiographic studies

When performing X-ray endovascular studies (REI) under local anesthesia, patients often experience pain, which against the background of emotional stress leads to significant stress reactions. Concomitant arterial hypertension in patients with vascular pathology significantly increases the risk of angiographic examination (AI). In addition, patients are often in a forced position, with the chest compressed or in a supine position with a roller placed under the abdomen. Patients with low threshold of pain sensitivity and concomitant cardiovascular pathology cannot stay in such position for a long time. The choice of an adequate and low-toxic method of anesthesia is an important and urgent task in AI. This issue is practically not covered in the literature. In this summary, we describe our first experience with potentiated anesthesia in AI.
