  3. RADIATION EXPOSURE IS IMPORTANTSkin injury due to cardiac intervention

  4. RADIATION EXPOSURE IS IMPORTANTAccessory pathway ablation 3 weeks 5 months 6.5 months

  5. OPERATORS ALSO GET RADIATION INDUCED SKIN INJURY

  6. RADIATION EXPOSURE AND CANCER RISK

  7. RADIATION IS IMPORTANT If radial access is associated with a significant increase in radiation exposure this will offset some of its other proven benefits and could limit its applicability

  8. Review of recent literature comparing radiation exposure in transfemoral and transradial cardiac catheterisation

  9. RADIAL ACCESS INCREASES RADIATION EXPOSURE FOR PATIENTS AND OPERATORS

  10. Review of recent literature comparing radiation exposure in transfemoral and transradial cardiac catheterisation

  11. TRANSRADIAL APPROACHTHE LEARNING CURVE • Puncture failure, spasm, different guide manipulation

  12. Is it valid to compare experienced femoral operators with less experienced radial operators DAP 28% reduction in radiation exposure related to learning curve

  13. Influence of learning curve on radiation exposure DAP Gycm2

  14. PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS ARE IMPORTANT

  15. FLUOROSCOPY MODE AND PATIENT MORPHOLOGY ARE IMPORTANT

  16. PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEEASE ALSO IMPACTS ON RADIAL OPERATORS

  17. MISMATCH OF PATIENT AND OPERATOR VARIABLES INVALIDATE THE EXISTING OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES

  18. RANDOMISED COMPARISON OF OPERATOR RADIATION EXPOSURE AND ACCESS SITE(Lange et al, CCI 2006, n = 297) RADIAL FEMORAL P DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES FT (mins) 2.8 1.7 <0.001 DAP (Gy.cm2) 15.1 13.1 <0.05 ORE (µSv.cm2) 64 32 <0.001 PERCUTANEOUS FT (mins) 11.4 10.4 NS DAP (Gy.cm2) 46.3 51.0 NS ORE (µSv.cm2) 166 110 <0.05

  19. USE OF ADDITIONAL RADIATION SCREENING(Tift Mann et al, JIC 1996, n = 264) FEMORAL RAD-1 RAD-2 FLUORO TIME 16 19 18 (mins) OPERATOR DOSE 8.8 13.5 3.3 PER CASE (mrem/min)

  20. The inadeqate radiation protection protocol imposed on the radial operators invalidates the randomised trial

  21. WHAT CAN AN EXPERIENCED RADIAL OPERATOR ACHIEVE?

  22. TRANSRADIAL PROCEDURES AT UHNS – RADIATION PROTECTION PROTOCOL • Minimise screening and acquisition times, and use of oblique views • Aduct arm after puncture • Under and over table shields • Extension tubing from catheter to manifold to optimise benefits of inverse square law • Increased operator shielding (shin pads, glasses, hat)

  23. FLUOROSCOPY TIMES OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING CA & PCI BY THE RADIAL AND FEMORAL ROUTES (UHNS PILOT DATA, N=300)

  24. RADIATION DOSES OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING RADIAL AND FEMORAL PCI (UHNS PILOT DATA, N=200)

  25. Operator radiation exposure and access site – UHNS controlled study EXPERT OPERATOR TRAINEE OPERATOR P=NS P=NS μSv μSv

  26. PCI OPERATIVE RADIATION EXPOSURE 2003 – 2004TLD BADGE READINGS - UHNS

  27. CONCLUSION • The existing literature is unreliable and invalid • For an experienced operator employing good radiation protection practice…… • There is no radiation hazard to operators or patients
