Comparison of patient and staff dose during femoral and radially accessed cardiac angiography

To visualise the coronary arteries, a catheter is advanced through the aorta via either an artery in the arm (radial artery) or the common femoral artery in the groin. Due to the reduced risk of post-procedure vascular complications, there has been a strong move towards radial access as the preferred option.

There have been conflicting reports of x-ray dose implications due to the choice of access point. This single centre, prospective, observational research investigates any potential disparities in patient radiation dose resulting from the radial or femoral approach. Differences in dose levels measured at the left temple of the cardiologist, scrub nurse and scout nurse were also examined.

This dataset was produced as part of Kelly Wilson-Stewart's PhD, 'Factors which influence occupational radiation head and eye dose to in-room personnel during angiographic procedures'.

Kelly's Ph.D. project aims to quantify the levels of temple dose to staff during diagnostic and interventional cardiac and endovascular procedures utilising fluoroscopy. An additional focus will be placed on reporting on factors that may influence occupational dose levels to nurses and other in-room staff.

为可视化冠状动脉，通过上肢动脉（桡动脉）或腹股沟处的股动脉，将导管经主动脉推进。鉴于术后血管并发症风险降低，向桡动脉通路作为首选方案的转变趋势日益显著。关于选择不同通路点对X射线剂量影响的研究报告存在矛盾。本研究为单中心、前瞻性、观察性研究，旨在调查由于桡动脉或股动脉途径而产生的患者辐射剂量潜在差异。同时，还考察了在心内科医生、器械护士和巡回护士的左侧太阳穴测得的剂量水平差异。该数据集是凯利·威尔逊-斯图尔特博士论文《影响室内人员在进行血管造影术中职业辐射头部和眼部剂量的因素》的一部分。凯利的博士项目旨在量化诊断和介入性心脏及血管内手术中，利用透视成像技术对工作人员太阳穴剂量水平的影响。此外，还将重点关注可能影响护士和其他室内工作人员职业剂量水平的因素。以下人员参与了本项目设计及论文草稿的监督工作：
