核医学管理区域内における汚染状況の調査とスリッパ履き替えに関する検討: スリッパによる転倒事故を経験して

摘要

Changing into slippers when entering the nuclear medicine management district prevented pollution expansion. Accidents involving patients falling occurred in university facilities. It was thought that changing slippers was the cause. The pollution situation was measured in three facilities by using the smear method and the direct technique to examine the effect of changing slippers. The current state was measured. After pollution prevention guidance was continuously done, pollution expansion was measured; three weeks of measurements were compared. Pollution was detected in the first period of weeks at a frequency of 19 times. For the latter period, it was detected 6 times. Half the pollution was in the restroom. Pollution was reduced by doing pollution prevention guidance for the restroom. Patients' falls occur even if they change slippers. Falling accidents can be decreased.%核医学検査室では，放射性同位元素の汚染拡大を防rn止するために管理区域内へ入室する際にはスタッフやrn患者は専用スリッパに履き替えている．しかし，スリッrnパに履き替えることによって患者が転倒するリスクを負rnうことになり，核医学検査室内の医療安全に関する新rnたな課題として認識されつつある．更にスリッパの履rnき替えを行う場合には，スノコが必要になるため歩行rn困難な患者には，転倒の危険性が増すことが危倶されrnる．
