Procedurevezetékbeültetések

Procedurevezetékbeültetések, also known as catheterization, refers to a medical procedure where a thin, flexible tube, called a catheter, is inserted into a body cavity, duct, or blood vessel. This technique is employed for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

In diagnostic procedures, catheters can be used to deliver contrast agents for imaging studies, such as angiography, to visualize blood vessels and identify blockages or abnormalities. They can also be used to collect samples of fluid or tissue from within the body.

Therapeutic applications of catheterization are extensive. For example, in cardiology, catheters are used to perform angioplasty and stenting to open blocked arteries. In urology, catheters are used to drain the bladder, relieve obstructions, or administer medication. Catheterization is also common in intensive care units for monitoring vital signs, administering fluids and medications, and in procedures like dialysis.

The insertion of a catheter requires aseptic technique to minimize the risk of infection. Depending on the location and purpose, the procedure may be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. While generally safe, potential complications can include infection, bleeding, pain, or damage to the surrounding tissues or vessels. The specific risks and benefits are always discussed with the patient before the procedure.
