* Risk
** Post radiation treatment for Graves, ~30 min exposure at 3' is ~ 1/2 CXR dose of radiation
** Lead vest is not protective
* Procedure:
** There should be a '''Complex Care Plan''' pop-up if the procedure was done at Harbor noting the end time for radiation risk
** '''Place stop sign on the patient's door'''
** Have a '''log of staff entering room with entrance and exit time''' (exposure time is cumulative)
* Distance
** Stay outside room for history if possible - ideally 6'
** Request temporary dosimeter from Radiation Safety Office (x67700) if prolonged exposure expected (<1' for >2 hrs)
* Time
** Do not linger in the room - get in, then get out
* Isolation
** Single patient room, no shared bathroom
** If admitted, notify patient flow early of the isolation need
* '''Waste management'''
** Linens and trash:  EVS should place them in the Radiation Storage Locker on the loading dock
