should be removed immediately and the exposed skin should be washed with soap and water. Protective clothing worn during proce­dures should be removed before personnel leave the department or hospital building.
Equipment Considerations for Protection
As awareness of the hazards of blood-borne pathogens increases, a variety of protective equipment and instruments are being made avail­able for use in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Most companies that make angiographic manifolds offer closed drainage systems. This system incorporates a 1000-mL bag in the manifold system, which allows aspirated blood to be flushed directly into a sealed bag. This system reduces the potential exposure during the procedure and at the end of the procedure during cleanup.
Another product to reduce exposure improves on the conven­tional waste bowl often used on the sterile back table. The closed bowl design allows bloody, fluid-filled syringes to be emptied into the recep­tacle and prevents back splashing by incorporating a diaphragm slot in which the syringe can be inserted and emptied.

Employer Responsibility
Hepatitis B Virus Vaccination
The OSHA standard states that HBV vaccination must be made avail­able as a prerequisite of employment to all employees with potential for occupational exposure. If the employee declines vaccination, it is mandatory that an HBV vaccine declination be signed.
Risk Category
The OSHA standard requires employers to inform employees of a job’s risk category on employment. The three risk categories are
Risk Category Definition
I Employment and procedures require exposure to
II Employment and procedures may require
III Employment and procedures usually do not
Most, if not all, catheterization laboratory staff fall into category I. The employer must provide proper training to employees regarding blood-borne pathogens and OSHA standards. Records must be kept documenting the dates, content, name of the person conducting the training, and names of persons attending the session. These records must be maintained for at least 3 years.

Eliminating Careless Practices to Reduce Risks
Often in the cardiac catheterization laboratory employees are exposed as a result of carelessness and lack of attention to procedures. All incidents of employee exposure should be documented properly. A periodic review should be conducted to determine ways to eliminate future exposure. Careless practices that should be avoided in the catheterization laboratory include the following:
1. Vigorous squirting of blood in syringes into the back table waste
bowl, resulting in splashing
2. Throwing of bloody gauze across the table into trash receptacles
3. Improper handling of guide wires and catheters, which may spring
out of the saline bowl and cause splashing
4. Failing to return needles properly to a needle counter or container
on the back table
Extra attention and care in such areas prevent unnecessar y expo­sure of staff.
Radiation Safety
The catheterization laboratory environment should be made as safe as possible for the staff and patient. Because radiation cannot be seen, felt, or heard, it is easy to become lackadaisical about proper protec­tive measures. Standards for radiation protection (from the Society for Cardiac Angiography and Intervention) include four basic principles:
1. The less exposure, the less chance there is of absorbed energy
biologic interaction.
2. No known level of ionizing radiation is a permissible dose or
absolutely safe.
3. Radiation exposure is cumulative. There is no washout
phenomenon.
https://t.me/med1917
4. All participants in the cardiac catheterization laboratory have vol­untarily accepted some degree of radiation exposure, but they are obliged to minimize and reduce risks to other personnel and themselves.
The source of radiation is the primar y x-ray beam emanating from the under table x-ray tube upward through the patient and onto the image intensifier. Scatter of this beam 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 increases the amount of radiation scatter (see Chapter 3). Acrylic shields and table-mounted lead aprons should be used to reduce the amount of scatter.
Fluoroscopy generates approximately one fifth the x-ray exposure of cineangiography. The increased use of cineangiography for complex catheterization procedures has increased the total exposure and should be a consideration in procedures requiring extensive intracar­diac manipulation, such as angioplasty, valvuloplasty, or electrophysi­ology studies.
Every cardiac catheterization laboratory should have a department-specific radiation safety policy. This policy should include the following:
1. Routine monitoring of personnel radiation exposure
2. Continuing education programs on radiation safety for personnel
3. Program to make personnel aware of the risks associated with
radiation exposure
4. Requirement for protective equipment be worn by all personnel
5. Procedures to check safety of all equipment (x-ray dose output,
integrity of lead aprons, and thyroid shields)

Lead Eyeglasses
A single x-ray exposure of 200 rad can produce cataract formation in humans. Eyeglasses made of 0.5- to 0.75-mm lead-equivalent glass should be worn by personnel exposed to radiation on a daily basis (see Fig. 1-9). Glasses containing 0.5 mm of lead offer four times the protection of regular eyeglasses. Glasses with photochromic lenses offer two times the protection of regular eyeglasses. Plastic lenses offer no eye protection from radiation.
Radiation-protective glasses must contain a wraparound side shield. Glasses with proper-fitting side shields are not only effective for radiation protection but also provide protection from blood products splashing into the eyes.
Radiation Badges
All personnel should wear a radiation monitoring badge when in the catheterization laboratory. To ensure accurate readings, a badge should always remain on the person to whom it is assigned. Badges should never be left lying on a counter or attached to a lead apron in an area where there is potential radiation exposure. When badges are not being used, they should be stored in an area away from any poten­tial radiation exposure.
At the end of each month, exposed badges are collected and sent for analysis. A monthly exposure report indicates each staff member’s exposure for that month. This information should be posted in the laboratory so that each staff member can monitor his or her individual exposure. The report should be reviewed each month by the labora­tory medical director and the institution’s radiation safety officer.
Radiation Dose Limitation
Although no known threshold for radiation exposure exists to define specific risks, the National Council on Radiation Protection and
48 1

Measurements indicates that no dose of greater than 3 roentgen equiv­alent in man (rem) should be allowed over a 3-month period.
The Catheterization Laboratory
Definitions of Radiation Units
1. Roentgen (R) is the measure of ionization delivered to a specific point (exposure). One chest radiograph equals 3 to 5 mR.
2. Radiation absorbed dose (rad) is the amount of radiation energy deposited per unit mass of tissue. The amount of absorbed dose per given exposure depends on tissue type. For soft tissue, 1 R = 1 rad; for bone, 1 R = 4 rad (i.e., greater absorption).
3. Roentgen in man (rem) is used to express the biologic impact of a given exposure. For x-radiation, 1 rad = 1 rem.
Methods to Limit Exposure
1. Wear leaded aprons (preferably wraparound): 0.5 mm or more thickness provides 80% protection.
2. Limit the fluoroscopic or cineangiographic time (cineangiographic time produces much greater exposure than fluoroscopic time).
3. Use collimators.
4. Reduce the distance between the x-ray source and the patient.
5. Maximize the distance between the x-ray source and the operator and assistants.
6. Limit milliamperes per kilovolts as much as possible for an ade­quate image.
7. Use slower panning and provide good initial angiographic setup. Angled views almost double the radiation.
8. Keep the image magnification as low as possible.
9. Use extra shielding (leaded thyroid guards, lead glasses, and pro­tective table shields).
Radiation exposure is greater during angioplasty than during diagnostic catheterization. If the protective shields are used carefully, radiation exposure for single-vessel and double-vessel angioplasty compared with diagnostic catheterization may be comparable. Radia­tion exposures are generally higher for these procedures, however, especially when biplane angiography is performed.
Lead Aprons and Thyroid Shields
Lead aprons should contain 0.5-mm-thick lead lining. When properly cared for, an apron can provide years of service. The lead lining can crack or tear, however; this is usually caused by careless handling or improper storage. Aprons should be placed on an appropriate hanger or in a storage rack after use (Fig. 1-10). Repeatedly throwing an apron over a chair or stretcher may damage the lead lining.
To assess the integrity of the lead, aprons should be examined under fluoroscopy at least once each year. Documentation should be kept regarding the integrity of each apron. To do this, each apron should contain some sort of identification (e.g., number, color, or name).
Because of the nature of work in the catheterization laboratory, personnel are not always able to maintain a frontal position to the x-ray beam. Wraparound lead aprons should be considered. Aprons should be long enough to cover the long bones (femur) and should extend to the knee or just below the knee. Because proper fit is important, many companies take measurements to ensure a proper fit. A hanging rack for the lead aprons should be used to prevent cracking resulting from excessive folding of aprons left lying over chairs or benches.

Because the thyroid gland is particularly sensitive to ionizing radiation, a lead thyroid shield should be worn in the presence of ion­izing radiation. Similar to aprons, thyroid shields should be stored properly and the lead periodically checked radiographically.
Physician Training Requirements in Cardiac Catheterization
Diagnostic Catheterization in Adults
Training in Diagnostic and Interventional Cardiac Catheterization pub­lished by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and endorsed by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (COCATS Training Recommendations) provides guidance as to the trainee’s overall professional goals and further determines the requi­site knowledge and skill set to be acquired in the training fellowship program. In general, trainees may be divided into three broad groups with differing training requirements:
Level 1—Trainees who will practice noninvasive cardiology and
whose invasive activities will be confined to critical care unit pro­cedures. However, this level also provides cognitive training in the indications, risks, and outcomes for the procedures and in the accurate interpretation of data obtained in the catheterization laboratory.
Level 2—Trainees who will practice diagnostic but not interven-
tional cardiac catheterization.
Level 3—Trainees who will practice diagnostic and interventional
cardiac catheterization.
Each level has specific goals for training that build on one another and are detailed in the following text. All cardiologists should have

level 1 knowledge and skills. Jacobs, et al in the Task Force 3 recom­mendations outline requisites for program accreditation, goals, struc­ture, activity level and patient mix, training program curriculum, and need for conferences.
The following are the proposed physician requirements for certi­fication in the performance of cardiac catheterization. The physician should spend a minimum of 12 months in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The trainee acquires a clear understanding of the indica­tions, limitations, complications, and medical and surgical implica­tions of the findings of cardiac catheterization and angiography. This background includes an understanding of the pathophysiology and the ability to interpret a wide variety of hemodynamic and angio­graphic data in adults. (Pediatric catheterization requires a special training track.) All trainees receive basic instruction in radiation safety, use of fluoroscopy, and radiologic anatomy.
The trainee learns to perform catheterization of the right and left sides of the heart by the various percutaneous routes. Routine ventriculography and coronary angiography are taught. Temporary RV pacing, endomyocardial biopsy, and pericardiocentesis are part of the training experience, if available. A working knowledge of catheterization laboratory equipment, including physiologic record­ers, pressure transducers, blood gas analyzers, image intensifiers and other x-ray equipment, and angiographic image management is emphasized for trainees seeking advanced catheterization laboratory experience.
Trainees should be exposed to adult patients with valvular, con­genital, cardiomyopathic, ischemic heart disease as well as peripheral vascular and structural heart disease. Studies of acutely ill patients (cardiogenic shock, acute myocardial infarction, or unstable angina) are currently a routine part of invasive cardiology. At the end of the cardiac catheterization training period, for level 2 training, a trainee should have performed at least 300 catheterization pro­cedures; in 150 of them, the trainee should have been the primary operator. The number of cases to meet the training levels are shown in Table 1-12.
Because the potential for harm is greater with interventional techniques, only physicians highly skilled and thoroughly trained in the fundamentals of diagnostic catheterization should undertake the additional year of training that is needed for competency in inter­ventional cardiology (percutaneous coronar y and peripheral vascu­lar interventions, and interventions for structural heart disease [e.g., transaortic valve replacement {TAVR}, mitral clip, balloon valvulo-

Integrity in the Catheterization Lab
Admiral Sizemore describes principles of “Operational Excellence in Navy Aviation,” and I saw immediate parallels of principles to our work in the catheterization laboratory from his experience with naval avia­tion and how it related to the practice of medicine. How does experi­ence in naval aviation apply to the catheterization lab, and how do the lessons from training and experience help naval aviators support their missions? On review of Table 1-13, one can see that the training and experience of the catheterization lab team parallels the critical prin­ciples that support our mission.
The Navy provides safety and protection for all of us in our great country. It is a never-ending mission. Although of considerably smaller scope than that of the U.S. Navy, the mission is same for the catheterization laboratory. Patients who come into the catheteriza­tion laboratory expect safety and protection that we endeavor to achieve with excellence as they undergo their procedures. The high level of task performance by naval aviators is required to maintain readiness within the extraordinary stressful environment of working on aircraft carriers patrolling the oceans of the world. In a similar manner, working in the catheterization laboratory, at times a stressful environment, also requires flexibility and rapid responses. Admiral Sizemore notes that “aviation is extraordinarily complex and requires enormous commitment both in materials and in the individuals” with highly specialized training backgrounds. One could easily substitute “medicine” for “aviation” in the preceding sentence without changing the meaning.
Just as is done in naval aviation, so too should the requirements to maintain proficiency in the catheterization lab be a part of everyday life. In the catheterization laboratory with the near-continuous introduction of new devices and procedures, becoming proficient and maintaining proficiency is necessary to assure safety and quality. Hopefully the materials in this book help our catheterization labs succeed in their mission to our patients.
