Abstract
Priekšvēsture: Tradicionālā koronārās angiogrāfijas pieeja joprojām sastāv no stāvēšanas pie procedūras galda smagos svina priekšautos un tiešā un netiešā starojuma iedarbībā. Hroniska zema starojuma iedarbība ietekmē oftalmoloģisko un neoplastisko slimību attīstību, tomēr svina priekšauti, ko izmanto, lai samazinātu šo starojumu, ietekmē mugurkaulu un galu galā var izraisīt ortopēdiskas slimības.
Mērķis: Šī pētījuma mērķis ir apkopot un secināt datus par intervences kardiologu arodveselības riskiem. Vēl viens svarīgs mērķis ir atrast un apkopot mūsdienu jauninājumus šo apdraudējumu novēršanā.
Rezultāti: Radioģenētisko un ortopēdisko komplikāciju bīstamība ir labi zināma. Laika pagarināšanās dēļ gadījumu skaita pieauguma, garākas un sarežģītākas procedūras mūsdienu intervences speciālistiem rada lielāku profesionālo risku nekā jebkad agrāk.
Secinājums: Neskatoties uz to, ka pēdējos gadu desmitos intervences kardiologiem nav pietiekami izstrādāti preventīvie pasākumi, ir parādījušās jaunas daudzsološas alternatīvas. Tomēr, lai tās pabeigtu izstrādāt (nostiprinātu), nepieciešami turpmāki pētījumi,katetrizācijas laboratorijā.
Background: The traditional approach of coronary angiography still consists of standing at the procedure table in heavy lead aprons and under direct and indirect radiation exposure. The chronic low radiation exposure influences the development of ophthalmologic and neoplastic diseases, however the lead aprons used to decrease this radiation has an impact on the spine and can ultimately lead to orthopaedic diseases. Aim: The aim of this study is to summarize and conclude data on the occupational health hazards of interventional cardiologists. Another important purpose is to find and summarize modern innovations of prevention for those hazards. Results: The hazards of radiogenic and orthopaedic complications are well known. The increasing time due to more cases, longer and more complicated procedures sets modern interventionalists under greater occupational risks than ever before.1 Conclusion: Despite the relative lack of development of preventive measures in the last past decades for interventional cardiologists, new promising alternatives have been emerged. However, further studies and research are necessary to establish them in the catheterization laboratory.
