Abstract

Advanced practice providers (APPs) are utilized in a variety of healthcare settings to provide safe effective care to patients with acute and chronic illnesses. APPs are licensed, board-certified, and credentialed to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic invasive procedures within their scope of practice. Studies have shown that outcomes of procedures performed by APPs are the same or better when compared to procedures performed by medical residents and attending physicians. This chapter discusses briefly the role of the advanced practice provider in caring for the acutely ill cancer patient in a critical care setting and special considerations when performing invasive procedures in cancer patients.
