The annual average effective dose (ED) for operating room personnel (ORP) in Saudi Arabia was estimated from the period of 2015–2019 using thermoluminescent dosemeters. A retrospective analysis was conducted on annual EDs for 7530 ORP working across 52 hospitals. These workers were only exposed to radiation in the operating room. The annual average ED over the period of 5 years was found to be 0.59 mSv with no incidence of a dose above the annual dose limit of 20 mSv. The maximum annual ED reported was 15 mSv for an operating room worker in 2019. More than 88% of the workers received an annual ED of <1 mSv. The study concluded that the work environment in hybrid operating rooms across Saudi Arabia is safe. However, it is always recommended that workers take every protective measure when dealing with ionization radiation.

沙特阿拉伯混合手术室人员电离辐射剂量的 5 年回顾性分析

沙特阿拉伯手术室人员 (ORP) 的年平均有效剂量 (ED) 是使用热致发光剂量计从 2015 年至 2019 年期间估计的。对 52 家医院的 7530 名 ORP 的年度 ED 进行了回顾性分析。这些工人只在手术室接触辐射。发现 5 年期间的年平均 ED 为 0.59 mSv，没有超过年剂量限值 20 mSv 的剂量发生率。2019 年，一名手术室工作人员报告的最大年度 ED 为 15 mSv。超过 88% 的工人每年接受的 ED 小于 1 mSv。该研究得出结论，沙特阿拉伯混合手术室的工作环境是安全的。但是，始终建议工人在处理电离辐射时采取一切保护措施。
