Event Description	The following information was received via facsimile: On Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at 1634 EDT, an admitted patient was given a 182 mCi I-131 capsule for a thyroid ablation study. At approximately 0330 EDT on Thursday, June 23, 2011, the patient vomited onto herself and the floor. The nursing staff cleaned up the patient and the floor and then notified the Nuclear Medicine Department (NMD). NMD staff began to perform surveys of the patient and the room and found contamination. Further cleaning of the patient and room was performed. The patient was released on Saturday, June 26, 2011. The room was sealed off to allow the I-131 contamination to decay below regulatory limits. The room remains restricted. NMD staff are performing contamination surveys. Virginian Report Number: VA-11-04
