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 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 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 کاملCoronary physiology revisited : practical insights from the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
Various coronary physiological measurements can be made in the cardiac catheterization laboratory using sensor-tipped guidewires; they include the measurement of poststenotic absolute coronary flow reserve, the relative coronary flow reserve, and the pressure-derived fractional flow reserve of the myocardium. Ambiguity regarding abnormal microcirculation has been reduced or eliminated with meas...
متن کاملSurvey of a Practical Approach to Central Venous Catheterization in Pediatric Patients
Background Central venous catheter (CVC) is used for measuring hemodynamic variables, transfusion of blood, fluids and medications when peripheral vascular lack sufficiency. Unfortunately CVC is associated with many complications ranging from anxiety and discomfort for the patient to severe mechanical side effects such as arterial lacerations, pleural and pericardial injury as well as infection...
