Fluoroscopy monitor

Clinical staff taking part in diagnostic and interventional procedures using fluoroscopy wear protective aprons to shield internal tissues and organs in the torso from scattered x rays. Use of the measurements from monitoring devices worn outside and above protective aprons as the record of or E for these individuals results in significant overestimates of their actual risk. 

This team member offers assistance with fluoroscopy control during dilatation monitoring every single step. 

For the interventional staff, radiation exposure is a product of the procedure, and the occupational dose received during all such procedures should be minimized to the extent possible without compromising appropriate patient care, a precaution referred to as ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable). Relevant aspect to minimize radiation exposure is reducing the amount of fluoroscopy and cine time to the clinically required minimum. It is important to avoid the Tead-foot syndrome the operator must learn to press the fluoroscopy pedal briefly, when it is necessary to confirm the sheath position, and to reflexively take his or her foot off the pedal whenever looking away from the television monitor [8]. 

In addition to monitoring vital signs (oxygen saturation and blood pressure), fluoroscopy is useful to monitor potential complications, such as ...

The major complication during acrylic cement injection is epidural overflow with spinal nerve compression. Monitoring the vertebral filling by lateral fluoroscopy during the injection of the pasty cement minimizes this risk. The next most serious complication is infection to avoid this complication, strict sterility during the intervention is mandatory.
