Objective To evaluate the occupational exposures and protective condition of medical staff in operating room for interventional therapy. Methods From September to November in 2014, 46 medical staff in the operating room for interventional therapy were adopted to complete the occupational exposures and protection situation survey. After that, we analyzed and scored all the questionnaires. Results The awareness of the medical staff about occupational exposures and occupational protection in the operating room was low; the awareness rates of doctors, nurses, and radiology technicians were 74.2%, 63.0% and 66.7%, respectively. The general condition of implement of occupational protection measures of the medical staff was bad, and the average rate of the doctors, nurses and radiology technicians was 51.3%, 43.9%, and 15.2%. Conclusion The implement rates of occupational protection measures of the medical staff in Operating Room for interventional therapy differ much from the awareness rates. The rates in doctors and nurses are higher than that in radiology technicians. We should strengthen the education of radiation damage and protection measures in doctors, and enhance the training of iatrogenic injuries related knowledge in clinical radiology technicians to reduce occupational hazards.
