Radiation Safety in Hemodialysis

With the growing number of endovascular interventions performed in hemodialysis access patients, an understanding of the radiation associated risks is increasingly important. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of radiation safety principles, guidelines, and best practices specific to hemodialysis interventions. It covers various aspects, including radiation basics, risks, protection principles, equipment considerations, procedural techniques, and patient management. By implementing appropriate radiation safety protocols, one can minimize the procedural risks to both patients and staff while optimizing patient outcomes during hemodialysis interventions.
