Abstract
“Time-out” checklists prior to starting a procedure are commonly used and typically focus on adequate informed consent, site marking, confirmation of procedure and needed instruments in the room, and addressing any procedure-related concerns, but do not specifically include radiation safety. While studies in the cardiology literature have documented the use of a radiation safety time-out (RSTO) to reduce radiation exposure during fluoroscopic-guided procedures, this has not been documented in the interventional radiology (IR) literature.
