Shielding heart doctors: new drape cuts radiation risk in surgery
NCT ID NCT06233578
Summary
This study tested whether using a special protective drape called RADPAD reduces radiation exposure for doctors performing heart catheterization procedures. It involved about 100 doctors performing 1,000 patient procedures at one hospital. Doctors were randomly assigned to use either standard radiation safety measures alone or standard measures plus the RADPAD drape to compare exposure levels.
