Imaging Equipment Preventive Maintenance
The x-ray unit should be placed on a program of scheduled preven­tive maintenance that is performed by trained service technicians. This maintenance should be done at least biannually, with quarterly checks preferred. Maintenance and cleaning schedules should be monitored by the staff so that equipment can be scheduled for routine maintenance.
Digital Angiography Archives
The x-ray image is converted into a quantitative digital format for storage and display on a computer. Archival storage uses magnetic tapes, disks, or other electronic media and permits compact storage, image enhancement, and retrieval for quantitative image analysis.
Radiation Safety
Radiation protection equipment must be available for all personnel in every cardiac catheterization laboratory. Standards for radiation pro ­tection have been published by the Society of Cardiac Angiog­raphy and Interventions, ACC, and American Heart Association (AHA). Four principles of radiation safety should be self-evident:

larger and “fuzzier” the image becomes.
1. The less the exposure, the less the chance of absorbed energy biologic interaction.
2. No known level of ionizing radiation is a permissible dose or abso­lutely safe.
3. Radiation exposure is cumulative. No washout phenomenon occurs.
4. All participants in the cardiac catheterization laboratory have voluntarily accepted some degree of radiation exposure but are obligated to minimize and reduce risks to other personnel and themselves.
The source of radiation in the cardiac catheterization laboratory is the primary x-ray beam that emanates from the under table tube, upward and outward toward the II. Scatter of this beam (mostly because of transit through the patient) exposes all subjects to radia­tion in a dose geometrically inverse to the distance from the source. Radiation scatter is increased when the angle of the tube is set obliquely. A high degree of angulation with large obliquities increases the amount of radiation scatter. Acrylic lead shields and table-mounted lead aprons should be used to reduce the amount of scatter.
Fluoroscopy generates x-ray exposure approximately one-fifth that of cineangiography. The increased use of cineangiography for complex catheterization procedures increases the total radiation exposure in the laboratory and should be a consideration in proce-

Personal Radiation Protection
Radiation protection for laboratory personnel should include eye, neck, and body shielding. Physicians performing cardiac angiography should be protected by room-installed radiation shields. Exposure with a shield resulting from performing 25 examinations per week on a continuous basis should be within the recommendations of the National Commission on Radiologic Protection and Units.
Radiation exposure is greater during PCI than during diagnostic catheterization. If protective shields are used carefully, radiation expo ­sure may be comparable for single- and double-vessel angioplasty procedures and for diagnostic catheterization procedures. Radiation exposure is higher for diagnostic and angioplasty procedures using biplane imaging.
During angiographic studies, 90% of the x-ray energy entering the body is absorbed. It has been shown that a single exposure of 200 R

Angiographic Equipment
Injectors and Contrast Materials
The angiographic power injector allows the angiographer to adminis­ter a precise volume (bolus) of contrast material at a rapid, preset flow rate. Power injectors are necessary for performing ventricular and great vessel angiography. The injector uses a large syringe for radio­graphic contrast media. Power injector settings are selected, and on receiving an electronic signal, a calibrated motor discharges the exact amount of contrast material at the predetermined rate through a con­necting tube and catheter to the patient. The quantity and type of
https://t.me/med1917
contrast material (concentration or dilution) and rate of injection are operator or physician selected. The signal to the injector to inject the contrast media is transmitted from a hand- or foot-operated switch.

Power Contrast Injector: Responsibilities of the Nurse or Technician
1. For an off-table freestanding injector, the nurse or technician loads the syringe with contrast media.
2. The nurse or technician sets the volume, flow rate, and rate of pres­sure rise parameters as instructed by the physician.
3. The nurse or technician presses the inject button that triggers the injection. Releasing the button stops the injection.
The staff member and physicians must be aware of the following points regarding safe power injection. Some injector systems (e.g., ACIST) have physician-operated touch-sensitive injection controls on the table.
Be sure to clear air bubbles. All air must be expelled from the contrast-filled syringe before making the injector available to the physi­cian for the catheter connection. Under no circumstances should the head of the power injector be tilted toward the catheterization table or made available for the physician if air is in the syringe.
Several techniques are used to establish a bubble-free system when connecting the catheter to the syringe. A running connection is a technique in which a small amount of contrast material is squirted out of the syringe while the catheter is being connected to the syringe. Merging of the fluid streams of blood from the catheter and the forward flow of contrast material from the syringe prevents any large air bubbles from entering the system on connection. After connection, the injector operator always aspirates more fluid (usually contrast material in the connector tube) into the syringe to ensure that no air bubbles are present. If air is present, it is expelled, and the clearing procedure is redone.
The operator must be careful when aspirating blood into the contrast syringe for two reasons: (1) A large blood volume in the syringe dilutes the contrast material, and (2) more important, but rarely, after some time the blood may clot in the injector syringe.
Variable rate automatic injectors operated from the sterile table have air bubble detectors that prohibit injection if air is detected any­where in the injection pathway.
Test Injection in Ventricle
When the system is free of air, the injector operator and physician should be sure that the catheter is cleared of blood. The injector opera­tor squirts a small amount of contrast material out of the tip of the catheter under x-ray visualization. This small test injection of contrast material also helps the physician ascertain proper catheter position for ventriculography.
Confirming Injector Settings
The physician should orally confirm the power injector settings for the contrast volume and delivery rate desired. The injector operator should repeat the injection parameters back to the physician to elimi­nate any chance of error in injector setup. Before injecting, the staff member must ensure that the catheter being used can accept the flow rate that has been entered into the injector.
Safety Features
When the physician has initiated a cineangiographic run, the injector operator must listen for the physician’s command to start the injection. The nurse or technician should be prepared to stop the injection (by hitting or releasing the trigger button) at any time as directed by the
170 3

physician or at his or her own discretion (e.g., when the catheter is pulled back or a contrast stain in the heart muscle is seen).
and injections for small bubbles or other problems. Six (or more) eyes are better than four for seeing catheterization laboratory problems. Power injectors have many safety features that must be understood by the cardiac catheterization laboratory staff. To ensure patient safety during angiography, staff members must understand all aspects of the operation of the power injector and built-in safeguards.

Note: All personnel should be watching the power injection setup
Contrast Media
During angiography, the catheterization laboratory staff provides tech­nical support with regard to contrast media in the following areas:
1. Contrast agents should be warmed to body temperature before administration. Commercial warmers are available from compa­nies that manufacture contrast media.
2. The nurse or technician preparing the patient for angiography should ask the patient if he or she is aware of any known contrast allergy. Iodine gives contrast material its radiopaque qualities and is a known allergen. Although some believe that a history of seafood allergy (iodine is found in certain seafood, especially shellfish) is significant, this does not appear to be the case. Nonetheless, the physician should be notified of patient seafood allergy. The physi­cian may wish to give corticosteroids or antihistamines to these patients before performing angiography (see Chapter 1).
3. Before the administration of contrast agents, the patient should be told about the sensations associated with contrast administration. Rarely, patients have nausea and vomiting, so patients should not have ingested food or water before angiography. If vomiting occurs, staff members should be quick to respond; patients’ heads should be turned to the side (away from the sterile field) to prevent aspira­tion. This is particularly important when patients have been heavily sedated for the procedure.
4. Patients should be told that they may feel a hot flushing sensation (caused by artery vasodilation) during the LV injections of contrast media. Direct injection of contrast material into peripheral vessels may produce a painful burning and cramping sensation. These reactions are uncommon with the nonionic, low-osmolar agents that are used today.
During angiography, it is important for the nurse to document the type and amount of contrast material delivered and any signs of allergy, such as hives, flushed skin, bronchospasm, or laryngeal edema (hoarseness). Appropriate medications for treatment of anaphylaxis, such as epinephrine, and an airway should always be easily accessible during the procedure.
Although uncommon with nonionic low-osmolar contrast media (LOCM), hypotension, bradycardia, and arrhythmias have been reported during injections. Therefore, the ECG and arterial pressure should be monitored continuously. Atropine, vasopressors, and antiar­rhythmic agents should be available for prompt administration. Tran­sient bradycardia or hypotension can be overcome with a brief forceful cough. Use of nonionic low-osmolality contrast agents has greatly reduced the incidence of bradycardia, arrhythmias, hypotension, and the need for coughing during coronary angiography.
After angiography and before discharge, the patient should receive 500 to 1000 mL of normal saline IV over 4 to 6 hours.
Selection of Radiographic Contrast Media
The contrast material is selected for the specific examination to be conducted. All contrast agents contain iodine, an effective absorber
https://t.me/med1917

of x-rays, which makes iodine-filled structures x-ray “dense” when compared with other body structures. Those tissues without iodinated material are more x-ray “lucent” and absorb x-rays to provide different gray shades in x-ray images. The quantity and concentration of con­trast materials used are specific medical decisions. Factors included in these decisions are the patient’s age, size, general health, allergies, and cardiac condition.
Although all agents are derivatives of benzoic acid, the number of iodine molecules and ionic and osmolar composition vary (Table
3-5). Osmolality, viscosity, sodium content, and other additives and
properties are different among these agents. Table 3-6 summarizes commonly used contrast agents for coronar y and LV angiographic studies. Selection of a contrast agent for the particular laboratory is, to a large extent, a matter of personal preference. Major differences between ionic and nonionic contrast agents include cost, effect of hemodynamics, and LV and renal function. Historically, ionic contrast media produced hypotension by peripheral arterial vasodilation, tran­sient myocardial dysfunction, and decrease in circulating volume and blood pressure after osmotic diuresis (initially contrast media increase circulating fluid volume by osmotically shifting fluid into the vascular space).

Nonionic LOCM have been shown to be safer than ionic, high­osmolar agents. LOCM are routinely used in all catheterization labo­ratories around the world and produce satisfactory diagnostic imaging quality, especially for high-risk patients. Despite numerous studies and meta-analyses, there is no consensus on which of the LOCM is superior with regard to contrast-induced renal injury or nephropathy.
Contrast-Induced Renal Injury or Nephropathy
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is related to underlying renal function. Risk factors for CIN are summarized in Table 3-7. Serum creatinine level is a crude indicator of true glomerular filtration rate (GFR), whereas creatinine clearance (CrCl), calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula, has been repeatedly ben shown to be a more reliable indicator of GFR.
Recommendations to Prevent Contrast­Induced Nephropathy Based on Glomerular Filtration Rate
1. GFR or CrCl greater than 60 mL/min
a. Hold Metformin until 48 hours postprocedure.
2. GFR or CrCl 30 to 60 mL/min
a. Hydrate the night before the procedure with at least four to six
glasses of water up to 4 hours preprocedure.
b. Hold angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angioten-
sin receptor blockers, diuretics, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory
