Abstract:
The wearing method of personal dosemeters for medical staff changed from under to outside the operator's protective apron in April 2020. We measured the radiation dose Hp(10) for medical staff in Beijing from September 2020 to October 2021. The study population consisted of 3291 medical staff. All participants were divided into three groups. After excluding unusually low doses, the collected data higher than the detection limit involved 811 (7.8%) of 10 395 readings from 479 (14.6%) of 3291 staff. The mean equivalent dose was 1.4 mSv/3 months, with an SD of 2.3 mSv. The calculated average annual effective doses of radiation workers in the three groups after the interventional procedures from September 2020 to October 2021 ranged from 0.47 to 0.63 mSv/year, with median values of 0.32, 0.23 and 0.26 mSv/year, respectively.

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...
