Measures to reduce radiation in a modern cardiac catheterization laboratory.
BACKGROUND X-ray use in the catheterization laboratory is guided by the principle of as low as reasonably achievable. In accordance with this principle, we reduced the default fluoroscopic frame rate from 10 to 7.5 frames/s and increased the emphasis on the use of low-dose acquisition starting January 1, 2013. We aimed to study the impact of these measures on the total air kerma during diagnost...
متن کاملPulse fluoroscopy radiation reduction in a pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory.
OBJECTIVE To determine if lower starting pulse fluoroscopy rates lead to lower overall radiation exposure without increasing complication rates or perceived procedure length or difficulty. SETTING The pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory at University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital. PATIENTS Pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. DESIGN/INTERVENTIONS We performed ...
متن کاملRadiation safety program for the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
The Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions present a practical approach to assist cardiac catheterization laboratories in establishing a radiation safety program. The importance of this program is emphasized by the appropriate concerns for the increasing use of ionizing radiation in medical imaging, and its potential adverse effects. An overview of the assessment of radiation d...
متن کاملAnaesthesia in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Interventions in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) requiring anaesthetic expertise are becoming routine. These interventions involve a heterogeneous patient population and take place in an offsite location. This review aims to give an insight into anaesthetic issues surrounding certain interventions and the challenges encountered in an offsite location. RECENT FIN...
متن کاملRelationship of beam angulation and radiation exposure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between beam angulation and air kerma in a modern cardiac catheterization laboratory. BACKGROUND Recent reports have identified the merits of reducing radiation scatter, an important determinant of radiation dose in the catheterization laboratory. Radiation scatter is poorly characterized in the context of catheterization labora...
