Objective: RADPAD is a lead-free sterile drape that reduces scattered radiation during fluoroscopic procedures. We aimed to study the effect of using RADPAD on primary operator (PO) and secondary operator (SO) during coronary angiography (CAG) as well as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: 137 patients undergoing elective CAG and PCIwere randomized in a 1:1 pattern with or without the RADPAD. The ratio of PO received dose in mrem to total Air Kerma (AK) in mGy, Dose Area Product (DAP) in mGycm~2 and Cine Adjusted Screening Time (CAST) in minute, at the end of the procedure with or without RADPAD were measured and designated as dose relative to AK, DAP and CAST. The exposure ratios were compared for both cohorts.
