Occupational exposure to ionizing radiation in pregnant staff. Consensus document of aci-sec/arc-sec/servei/ senr/seram/geni. REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Edition), 17209. https://doi.org/10.24875/RECICE.M250005222604-7322https://hdl.handle.net/11268/16798The gender gap in interventional subspecialties is largely due to concerns about occupational radiation exposure. The belief that it is not possible to continue working in cath labs during pregnancy is perceived by many female physicians as a barrier to develop their career or fulfill their motherhood wishes. Many physicians are unaware of the doses of ionizing radiation that are harmful for the fetus, which is the dose received by women who continue to work in cath labs throughout their pregnancies, or do not know the existing regulations. In conclusion, it is necessary to draft this informative document and joint position paper to provide female physicians with the necessary knowledge to make fully informed decisions on whether to choose an interventional subspecialty or work exposed to ionizing radiation during their pregnancy.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal article10.24875/RECICE.M25000522open accessCiencias médicasMedicina del trabajoPolítica de la saludGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girlsGoal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all
