Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background and objectives:

The researchers will perform this study to reveal the clinical meaning of fatigue, headache, diarrhea, and impaired cognitive functions that are often expressed verbally in healthcare professionals who are exposed to fluoroscopy.

Methods:

After obtaining written informed consent, 84 samples will be included in the study. For operating room employees who meet the criteria determined before and after the operation; mini-mental state examination, weight, heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure value, VAS score for headache, radiation exposure time on fluoroscopy device, Rad measurement with the help of personal dosimeter before and after surgery, and total time in the operating room will be recorded.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background and objectives:

Nowadays, operations under fluoroscopy are performed at increasing rates with the aim of increasing case management and surgical success. Due to this increasing exposure to radiation, it is important to show that fluoroscopy has an impact on employees not only annually but also daily. The researchers will perform this study to reveal the clinical meaning of fatigue, headache, diarrhea, and impaired cognitive functions that are often expressed verbally in healthcare workers who are exposed to fluoroscopy.

Methods:

After obtaining written informed consent; 84 samples consisting of orthopedic surgery and anesthesia residents and orthopedic operating room nurses between the ages of 18-60 who do not have cardiological, neurological and psychiatric diseases, have had fluoroscopic operations lasting more than 2 hours, wear protective scopy gowns and collar during surgery, will be included in the study. The total number of samples required for the study will be reached by taking repeated measurements on consecutive days from the same sample group, but not on the same day. For operating room employees who meet the criteria determined before and after the operation; mini-mental state examination, weight, heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure value, VAS score for headache, radiation exposure time on fluoroscopy device, Rad measurement with the help of personal dosimeter before and after surgery, and total time in the operating room will be recorded. This prospective study will be executed between December 2020 and June 2021.

VAS Score

The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain.

The Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) is a widely used test of cognitive function among the elderly; it includes tests of orientation, attention, memory, language and visual-spatial skills.
