Chapter 63 Building an Outpatient Intervention Suite
Considerations
Space
• An angiography room with at least 600 ft2, but ideally about 1000 ft2 (Lead-lined walls may be needed depending on the radiation pattern of the fluoroscopy machine, the size of the room, the adjacent spaces, and use of the fluoroscopy machine. The practice needs to consult a medical physicist on the actual requirements.)
• One or more recovery rooms measuring at least 100 ft2
• One or more pre-op rooms measuring at least 100 ft2
• Storage area for supplies (This area should ideally be inside the intervention room, or easily accessible from it. At least 100 ft2 will be required.)
