Blood splash contamination of the conjunctivae or buccal mucosa may occur during angiography and angioplasty. Since there is a risk of contracting Hepatitis B or HIV via this route, staff should be aware of this potential source of infection. The use of protective masks and goggles or glasses should be considered. We have studied the risk of contamination by asking both the radiologist and angiography nurse to wear spectacles and disposable masks during 100 consecutive angiographic procedures. The number of splashes was counted at the end of each procedure. Blood splashes occurred in seven procedures and there was a total of 23 splashes during the study. In conclusion, we believe that there is a significant risk of conjunctival or mucosal contamination with blood during angiographic procedures and given the potential seriousness of transmission of Hepatitis B or HIV, radiologists and nursing staff must be aware of this risk.
在血管造影术和血管成形术过程中，结膜或口腔黏膜可能会发生血液飞溅污染。由于通过此途径有感染乙型肝炎或艾滋病毒的风险，工作人员应意识到这种潜在的感染源。应考虑使用防护口罩和护目镜或眼镜。我们通过要求放射科医生和血管造影护士在连续100例血管造影手术过程中佩戴眼镜和一次性口罩，研究了污染风险。在每个手术结束时统计飞溅次数。七例手术中出现了血液飞溅，研究期间共有23次飞溅。总之，我们认为在血管造影手术过程中，结膜或黏膜有被血液污染的重大风险，鉴于乙型肝炎或艾滋病毒传播的潜在严重性，放射科医生和护理人员必须意识到这种风险。
