Impact of a patient fixation device on healthcare worker radiation doses in fluoroscopy-assisted endoscopy.
Background and aims: Healthcare professionals involved in fluoroscopy-guided endoscopy are occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation. We evaluated whether a patient-immobilization device, MEDO V-Fix®, reduces this exposure.
Methods: Monthly effective and lens equivalent dose were measured for nurses and doctors using personal dosemeters worn inside protective gear. Data from 7 months before and 10 months after device introduction were compared. Additionally a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of dose reduction was performed.
Results: Monthly effective doses fell in both professions, but neither decline reached statistical significance. By contrast, nurses' mean lens-equivalent dose dropped sharply from 35.0 to 6.5 μSv per procedure (P < 0.01), whereas the reduction in doctors was not significant. In the CBA, assuming a 5-y service life, the benefit-to-cost ratio ranged 1.02-2.72, indicating economic merit.
Conclusions: The MEDO V-Fix significantly reduces the occupational radiation exposure of endoscopy nurses and is a worthwhile investment from a CBA perspective.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
