Types of Procedures/Imaging |
Clinical Significance |
Dental rehabilitation and adenoidectomy |
nasal endotracheal tube required for dental procedure obstructs ability to excise adenoid tissue |
T&A and pH probe |
the pH probe cannot be in place during immediate T&A postop period due to risk of irritation and ensuing hemorrhage to newly cauterized tonsillar bed |
Any invasive procedures with cardiac catheterization |
combining EGD/colon or dental rehabilitation with a cardiac catheterization, presents increased risk for bacteremia. |
MRI |
Any non-urgent imaging that is required to be read prior to the procedure |
