Anesthesia care providers are vulnerable to radiation exposure during a number of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In this study I examined the radiation exposure to members of a small department of anesthesiology. The aggregate radiation exposure to all members of the department doubled subsequent to the introduction of an electrophysiology laboratory.
