Ep. 514 Deep Sedation in IR: Intro to Ketamine with Dr. Amy Deipolyi

  • Summary

  • When deep sedation is required, it can be challenging to implement due to the difficulty of scheduling dedicated anesthesia coverage in the IR suite. Dr. Amy Deipolyi (interventional radiologist and Division Chief at Charleston Area Medical Center, WY) joins host Dr. Ally Baheti to explain an alternative approach to deep sedation through the use of ketamine. --- This podcast is supported by: Medtronic Abre Stent https://www.medtronic.com/en-us/healthcare-professionals/products/cardiovascular/deep-venous-stents/abre-venous-self-expanding-stent-system.html --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Deipolyi begins by sharing how she built a dedicated, academic IR program at a level 1 trauma center in West Virginia. The doctors then discuss the advantages of ketamine for deep sedation in the IR suite, and how Dr. Deipolyi gained administrative approval and implemented the change to achieve an alternative approach to deep sedation for interventional procedures. The discussion also includes how ketamine compares to traditional agents such as fentanyl and Versed. The episode concludes with Dr. Deipolyi’s practical advice to fellow IR’s interested in providing their patients deep sedation via ketamine and her ongoing and future research and outreach efforts. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 02:04 - Dr. Deipolyi’s Practice 14:32 - Overcoming Hurdles and Gaining Support 20:12 - Application and Patient Experiences 26:01 - Future of Deep Sedation in IR 28:55 - Conclusion
