AB Interventional  radiology  (IR)  provides  a  gamut  of  minimally  invasive  therapies  well  suited  for  the  critical  care  patient  population.The  dictum  of  “smaller,  faster,  safer,  better”  is  the  ideal  of  minimally  invasive  image-guided  therapy.  In  the  appropriate  patient,  this  type  of  therapy  is  invariably  better  tolerated  than  more  invasive  techniques.Three  primary  image  modalities  are  used  to  guide  IR  procedures:  fluoroscopy,  computed  tomography  (CT),  and  ultrasound  (US).  Increasingly,  hybrid  suites  are  equipped  with  all  three  modalitiesAppropriate  ICU-monitoring  devices  and  support  personnel  must  be  available  in  the  IR  suite  to  best  serve  the  critical  care  population.
