Original research article: Reducing radiation exposure during atrial fibrillation ablation using lectures to promote awarenessDOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2018-000982 Keywords: catheter ablation, atrial fibrillation, fluoroscopy, radiation exposure, radiation dosage Abstract: Recently, concern has increased regarding the hazards of radiation exposure in patients and laboratory staff. Since the numbers of complex catheter ablations (CA) performed, duration of procedure times, and need for multiple sessions have increased, radiation exposure during each session needs to be minimised. Our study aimed to assess the impact of awareness on radiation exposure during CA for atrial fibrillation (AF)
