This study found that during diagnostic coronary angiograms, the scrub nurses received 41% more occupational head dose than the cardiologist and 52% higher head doses during interventional cases. Radial access resulted in higher doses to scrub nurses than femoral artery access. It is advisable that staff wear protective lead glasses and skull caps and use appropriately positioned ceiling mounted lead shields to minimize the risk of adverse effects of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.14085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,30]],"date-time":"2019-05-30T05:39:10Z","timestamp":1559194750000},"page":"2692-2700","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Occupational radiation exposure to the head is higher for scrub nurses than cardiologists during cardiac angiography"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"75","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2090-6120","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kelly","family":"Wilson\u2010Stewart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Suites, Greenslopes Private Hospital Brisbane Qld Australia"},{"name":"School of Clinical Sciences Queensland University of Technology Brisbane Qld Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gunter","family":"Hartel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute Herston Qld Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Davide","family":"Fontanarosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Clinical Sciences Queensland University of Technology Brisbane Qld Australia"},{"name":"Institute of Health &amp; Biomedical Innovation Queensland University of Technology Brisbane Qld Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcin.2014.12.233"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncs236"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0146645314562321"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radmeas.2011.05.073"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwn171"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/neurintsurg-2013-010909"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radmeas.2011.12.004"},{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","first-page":"607","article-title":"Comparison of fluoroscopy time during coronary angiography and interventions by radial and femoral routes\u2010 can we decrease the fluoroscopy time with increased experience?
