[X-ray-examination-time during implantation of pervenous leads for permanent cardiac pacing (author's transl)]. 1977

U Ellringmann, and C G Schmitt

From February 1974 to December 1975 we performed 295 pacemaker operations. 165 of those were primary implantations of pervenous leads for permanent cardiac pacing. The X-ray examination time was between 0.1 and 17.0 minutes, their mean value was 2.6, their median 1.7 minutes. In those 165 cases there was a dislocation of the lead in 10.9 percent. Although our X-ray examination time was extremely short however in comparison with the literature we found no arise of our dislocation rate. Some hinces to keep radiation small are discussed.

D011829	Radiation Dosage	The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
