Transformative Medicine (T-Med)
Background
It is common practice to withhold metformin prior to cardiac catheterization due to fear of developing lactic acidosis in the setting of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (AKI). The evidence behind this recommendation is currently weak.
Methods
We collected 851 articles from PubMed and Embase, of which 3 met our inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria were age > 18 years, baseline use of long-term metformin with continued or interrupted metformin use in patients during diagnostic or interventional cardiac catheterization. The outcomes studied were differences between post-catheterization and pre-catheterization serum creatinine (SCr) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We excluded studies dealing with patients …

Background: Radiation exposure is a significant hazard associated with invasive Cardiology, with most studies based on primary operator exposure. This prospective, observational study aimed to find out over lead radiation exposure as effective dose acquired by non-physician staff comprising scrub technicians and rotating staff in the cath laboratory. Effective dose (ED) measured per procedure via Raysafe i2®dosimeter badges worn by both rotating staff and scrub technicians over lead aprons along with dose area product (DAP), fluoroscopy time (FT) and procedure time (PT) in minutes was collected prospectively over forty-six invasive Cardiology procedures.
Results: This study shows that rotating staff acquire …
