Hi All,
We are currently reviewing the function/ layout of our Radiology procedure room and looking at what diagnostic / interventional procedures could be done in here. Concerns have been raised regarding using the room for both ‘dirty’ and ‘clean’ procedures and how this should be managed safely.
The types of procedures being considered include:
Barium swallows,
Tubigrams including via stoma,
ERCP,
Therapeutics e.g Line insertion, PEG insertion, Nephrostomy.I would be interested to hear from other sites with this type of facility about how they manage this mix of procedures in the one room. And also what type of air handling system they have in place.
Happy to be contacted directly if you prefer.Kind regards,
Fiona De Sousa CICP-E| Nurse Manager | Infection Prevention & Control Unit
