Average Cumulative Air Kerma (Radiation Exposure)
Mean cumulative radiation dose (measured in air kerma, mGy) during PCI.
Quality Improvement Strategies:
Implement real-time radiation monitoring with automated tracking and dose alerts during procedures.
Adopt low-dose default fluoroscopy settings and standardize equipment configurations.
Train all staff on ALARA principles to reinforce a culture of radiation minimization.
Set threshold-based alerts to notify teams when exposure exceeds safe limits.
Provide operator-level feedback and conduct quarterly audits by case type and physician.
Recognize and reward teams that consistently maintain low radiation exposure..
