متن کاملRadiation exposure to staff members during traction X-rays
Background Determining the flexibility of a scoliosis curve is important, during both conservative and surgical management, and traction x-rays of the patient’s spine are frequently done as part of this evaluation. The traction x-ray is done with the patient in the supine position, and with staff members pulling on the patient’s arms and legs. The use of staff to produce the traction radiograph...
متن کاملMinimizing Staff Exposure to Antineoplastic Agents During Intravesical Therapy.
Exposure to chemotherapy is a daily risk for nurses in oncology infusion centers. Although significant advances have been made in developing systems to make IV administration of antineoplastic agents safer, less attention has been given to developing systems to minimize exposure risk during instillation of intravesical chemotherapy. This article describes the use of a closed system developed at...
