Dosis elevada en el dosímetro personal de una auxiliar de enfermería en Electrofisiología A high dose in the personal dosage meter of nursing assistant in Electrophysiology field

Abstract

En una sala de Electrofisiología del Servicio de Cardiología en donde se efectúan procedimientos guiados con rayos X de ablación con radiofrecuencia y de implantes de desfibrilador biventricular, se registraron dosis mensuales anormalmente elevadas en el dosímetro personal de solapa de una auxiliar de enfermería que trabaja en la misma, con valores de dosis equivalente personal, Hp(10), de 125 mSv y de dosis equivalente personal superficial, Hp(0.07) de 128.1 mSv. Ante la ansiedad producida en la trabajadora al conocer las lecturas de su dosímetro, y dado que no se dispone de precedentes investigados en la instalación, se ha realizado un estudio para dilucidar si la dosis registrada ha podido ser recibida por la trabajadora o si solo ha sido recibida por el dosímetro. Se hacen medidas con un monitor ambiental en condiciones simuladas de los procedimientos, para estimar las dosis reales que pueda recibir el personal de la sala. Se comparan estos valores con los del rendimiento del equipo de RX en haz directo medidos durante la revisión anual de control de calidad del mismo, concluyéndose que ha sido el dosímetro, y no la trabajadora, el que se ha expuesto a radiación directa, siendo la situación más probable la de que dicho dosímetro cayó sobre el tubo de RX, normalmente orientado hacia el techo, un tiempo del orden de 1 minuto. Paralelamente a estas estimaciones dosimétricas, el Servicio de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales realizó la vigilancia de la salud, concluyendo que la trabajadora no tenía ningún indicio de haber recibido dosis de la magnitud registrada por su dosímetro.In a room of electrophysiology from the cardiology service where procedures are made guided with X-Rays of ablation with radiofrequency and from implants ventricular defibrillation; there were registered monthly doses usually high in the same personal dosimeter flap of a nursing assistant who works there with values of equivalent personal doses, Hp (10), of superficial equivalent doses, Hp (0.07) of 128.1mSv. In view of the anxiety produced in the worker upon knowing the readings of its dosimeter, and since there is no disposition of precedents investigated in the facility, and it has been carried out a study for explaining if the doses registered could has been received by the worker if it is only received by the dosimeter.
