Objective. This study aimed to develop a patient-safety checklist for use during fluoroscopic- or image-guided minimally-invasive procedures in the Department of Radiology, Philippine General Hospital.Methodology. A comparison of the Radiological Patient Safety System (RADPASS) and the Cardiovascular and Interventional Society of Europe (CIRSE) checklists was done. Together with the knowledge of the workflow and through observation of the different procedures in the department, a checklist was developed to suit the appropriate hospital setting. This developed checklist was tested in several procedures, and was evaluated and modified during trial testing.Result. A patient safety checklist for minimally-invasive and fluoroscopic procedures in the Department of Radiology, Philippine General Hospital was developed through the analysis of the workflow of the department, and observation during the data gathering and trial testing phases.Conclusion. This simple tool was developed to ensure that all the necessary details before a procedure have been addressed. It has been made as simple as possible, to make it user-friendly. The developed checklist is a step forward in promoting and ensuring the safety of patients undergoing fluoroscopic and minimally-invasive procedures in the Department of Radiology, PGH.

Symptom Index

Urinary incontinence (UI) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are 2 common urogenital problems in men. UI is associated with involuntary leakage of urine and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of urgency, frequency, and nocturia. Types of UI include functional, urge, stress, and overflow. Treatment for UI is based on the type of incontinence, patient-specific factors, and treatment preferences of both patients and health care providers. Options for the management of UI include environmental modifications, disposable incontinence products, pelvic floor exercises, pharmacotherapy, surgically implanted devices, and intermittent catheterization. BPH may be also associated with LUTS. Patient symptoms, assessed with a measurement tool such as the American Urological Association Symptom Index (AUASI), serve as the basis for determining treatment. Management approaches for BPH include pharmacotherapy, surgery, and minimally invasive procedures. Anticholinergic drugs as well as α-receptor antagonists and 5-α reductase inhibitors, either alone or in combination, are effective and useful for LUTS unresponsive to traditional pharmacotherapy. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can eliminate symptoms of BPH but is associated with relatively more complications than other available surgical and minimally invasive procedures.
