David E. Haines

About

David E. Haines is a leading voice in interventional cardiology and electrophysiology, with a focused research agenda on the occupational health and safety of healthcare workers in catheterization and electrophysiology (EP) laboratories. His work critically examines the hidden dangers of the fluoroscopic environment, including cumulative radiation exposure and associated health risks for physicians, nurses, and technologists. Haines’s most impactful contribution is the 2020 SCAI multi-society position statement, which has garnered 21 citations and represents a paradigm shift in advocating for robust protective measures and a culture of safety. Earlier, his 2011 paper on the catheterization laboratory of the future (29 citations) anticipated key innovations in design and function, while a companion piece on the neurointerventional procedure room (8 citations) extended this vision to specialized suites. By challenging outdated assumptions and championing healthcare worker protection, Haines has helped redefine best practices in interventional suites, ensuring that technological progress goes hand-in-hand with practitioner well-being.
