We are looking into our work flow/policies on cervix brachy and other procedures and I wanted to get some input.
For first cervix brachy I prefer full OR/full sedation and often suture in a Smitt sleeve and use ultrasound guidance for. For subsequent implants (assuming tandem/ovoid or tandem/cylinder), what type of sedation are you all using? Do you have a CRNA there to help administer sedation? Do you have a procedure room where you do brachy?
For spaceOAR similar question - do you do it with oral sedation or do you go to a procedure room with IV sedation? Do you administer it or does a CRNA do it?
