Cumulative Radiation Exposure Post Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) often receive multiple radiation based diagnostic studies. Cumulative radiation exposure has been associated with long term health consequences from both dose dependent deterministic harm and increased risk of developing adverse events in a non-dose dependant manner i.e. stochastic harm.

Objective

The objective was to calculate cumulative radiation exposure in the acute phase after aSAH.

Design, setting, participants, main outcome measures

Single centre retrospective, observational study of consecutive adult patients admitted to the ICU for management of aSAH over five years. Organ and effective radiation doses were determined using institution specific conversion coefficients based on scanner radiati
