Improving safety in the electrophysiology laboratory using a simple radiation dose reduction strategy: a study of 1007 radiofrequency ablation procedures
Abstract
The use of fluoroscopic screening involves exposure to ionising radiation for both patients and operators.To assess the effects of radiation dose reduction manoeuvres (DRM) during radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures.Prospective study of DRM.Tertiary cardiac centre. Interventions Two DRM were combined: removal of the secondary radiation grid and programming an ultra-low pulsed fluoroscopy rate. These methods were assessed using an...
