For decades, light and moderate sedation with an opiate and a benzodiazepine has been the customary practice in IR programs. These regimens are often inadequate to provide adequate sedation and can cause respiratory adverse events. Reliance on anesthesia services for challenging cases can cause delays in care and workflow inefficiencies, particularly in institutions with limited anesthesiology resources. In response to these factors, our institution developed a nurse-supported ketamine sedation program tailored specifically for IR procedures, with a goal to provide deeper sedation more safely without requiring anesthesiology resources. The protocol-driven model emphasized patient safety, team coordination, and staff competency. Since implementation, the program has improved scheduling flexibility, reduced patient wait times, and enhanced the overall procedural experience without compromising safety. This article provides a practical blueprint for institutions seeking to establish ketamine sedation utilization within IR through a team-based approach empowering nursing staff while ensuring high standards of care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39798,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radiology Nursing","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 101349"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147448657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although CNS roles are well-established in inpatient, perioperative, and emergency settings, there is a critical need for increased CNS presence in medical imaging departments. This paper examines how the synthesis of medical imaging complexity and CNS expertise can enhance patient outcomes, departmental efficiency, and interdepartmental collaboration.

This manuscript explores the clinical implications of polypharmacy in radiology nursing, emphasizing the role of nurses in identifying potentially inappropriate medications, preventing adverse drug events, and promoting a safer imaging experience for geriatric patients. Drawing on recent literature and clinical practice guidelines, the paper highlights evidence-based tools such as the American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria, the Screening Tool of Older Persons' Prescriptions (STOPP), and the Screening Tool to Alert to Right Treatment (START) protocols and presents a Clinical Nurse Specialist-led deprescribing model tailored for acute care environments. Case examples illustrate how radiology nurses can intervene during preprocedure screening, medication reconciliation, and interdisciplinary communication. The manuscript also outlines practical recommendations for radiology departments, including staff education, policy development, and patient-centered strategies to reduce medication-related harm. Unique radiology-specific considerations such as contrast media interactions, sedation risks, and nuclear medicine procedures are highlighted to underscore the specialty's distinct challenges. As the aging population grows and imaging demands increase, radiology nurses must be equipped to navigate the complexities of geriatric pharmacology. This paper calls for expanded nursing leadership in medication safety and advocates for scalable interventions that embed polypharmacy awareness into radiologic workflows. By elevating the role of radiology nurses in geriatric care, we can improve outcomes, reduce risks, and advance the quality of imaging services for older adults.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39798,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radiology Nursing","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 101363"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146090651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
