Support Device

["Villamar, Glenda (WBH)" <gvillama@bhsi.com>]

We have an issue out our medical facility where x-ray technologists are

being used to support sedated patients in an upright position while taking a

C-arm x-ray. These technologists are receiving high exposures from the

beams. We are trying to find a device/equipment that would support a patient

in the upright position so the doctors will stop asking the technologists.

Any ideas?



Sincerely,

Glenda Villamar, MS, Radiation Safety Consultant
