Abstract

Abstract Background and Objectives: Radiation is one of the occupational hazards urologists are exposed to during their day-to-day practice. Excessive radiation exposure is associated with multiple short- and long-term consequences. This educational video demonstrates the important measures urologists could undertake to protect patients, themselves, and other healthcare professionals from excessive radiation exposure without compromising outcomes. Methods: As Low As Reasonably Achievable principles, including minimizing time, maximizing distance, and always using shields, are demonstrated. Intraoperative tricks to minimize radiation exposure are recommended, including using the foot pedal to activate fluoroscopy by the surgeon himself/herself, using pulsed fluoroscopy, and documenting fluoroscopy time. In addition, the American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines regarding imaging modalities used for follow-up of urolithiasis are reviewed. Results: Surgeon behavior is one of the important modifiable p...
泌尿科医生的辐射安全
背景与目的:辐射是泌尿科医生在日常工作中接触到的职业危害之一。过度的辐射暴露与多种短期和长期后果有关。这段教育视频展示了泌尿科医生可以采取的重要措施,以保护患者、他们自己和其他医疗保健专业人员免受过度辐射的影响,而不会损害结果。方法:尽可能低的合理可行的原则,包括最小化时间,最大化距离,并始终使用盾牌,演示。建议术中尽量减少辐射暴露的技巧,包括用脚踏板激活外科医生自己的透视,使用脉冲透视,记录透视时间。此外,美国泌尿学会(AUA)关于尿石症随访的成像方式指南也进行了回顾。结果:外科医生的行为是可改变的重要因素之一。
