blockages, and injuries without the need for traditional surgery.
They are responsible for preparing patients, operating imaging
equipment, and ensuring a sterile and safe environment during
procedures. Key Responsibilities: 1. Pre-Procedure Preparation: -
Prepare the interventional radiology (IR) suite by ensuring all
necessary imaging equipment, sterile instruments, and supplies are
available and functioning. - Review patient information, medical
history, and previous imaging studies to ensure the correct
procedure and appropriate imaging protocols. - Verify patient
identity, allergies, and consent forms before the procedure begins.
- Explain the procedure to the patient, address any concerns, and
provide reassurance to reduce anxiety. 2. Assisting During
Procedures: - Assist the interventional radiologist in performing a
wide range of minimally invasive procedures, including angiograms,
biopsies, catheter placements, stent insertions, and drain
placements. - Operate imaging equipment (e.g., fluoroscopy, CT
scan, or ultrasound) to guide the physician during procedures,
ensuring accurate imaging to target specific areas of the body. -
Maintain a sterile environment by assisting with sterile draping,
setting up sterile instruments, and handling devices as required
during the procedure. - Administer contrast agents or dyes, as
directed by the physician, to enhance visibility of blood vessels
or organs on imaging. - Monitor the patient's vital signs,
including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, during the
procedure and report any changes to the medical team. 3. Patient
Safety and Comfort: - Ensure patient comfort and safety throughout
the procedure, positioning the patient appropriately to obtain
optimal images while preventing injury. - Take precautions to
minimize radiation exposure to both the patient and the healthcare
team by following radiation safety protocols, using shielding, and
optimizing imaging settings. - Monitor patients for signs of
complications, such as bleeding, infection, or adverse reactions to
contrast agents, and report findings to the physician. 4.
Post-Procedure Care: - Monitor patients post-procedure for any
immediate complications, including bleeding, infection, or changes
in vital signs. - Assist in the transfer of patients to recovery or
another unit after the procedure, ensuring they are comfortable and
stable during transport. - Provide post-procedure care instructions
to patients, including guidance on activity restrictions, wound
care, and follow-up appointments. - Assist in the removal of
catheter lines, drains, or other devices after the procedure if
required, and ensure the area is clean and dressed properly. 5.
Equipment Maintenance and Troubleshooting: - Regularly maintain and
inspect IR equipment, such as fluoroscopy units, imaging systems,
and catheter-based tools, ensuring they are functioning correctly.
- Troubleshoot any equipment malfunctions during procedures to
ensure minimal disruption to patient care. - Keep accurate records
of equipment use, maintenance, and any issues that arise with the
imaging equipment. 6. Collaboration with Medical Team: - Work
closely with interventional radiologists, nurses,
anesthesiologists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the
success of each procedure and high-quality patient care. - Provide
feedback and support to the medical team during procedures,
particularly in regard to imaging quality and patient positioning.
- Participate in discussions before and after procedures to review
patient conditions, procedural outcomes, and follow-up care. 7.
Documentation and Record-Keeping: - Accurately document all patient
information, procedures performed, imaging parameters, and
medications administered in the electronic health record (EHR). -
Ensure that all records are completed in compliance with hospital
or clinic policies and regulatory standards. - Maintain detailed
logs of imaging procedures, contrast agents used, and patient
conditions during and after the procedure. 8. Radiation Safety and
Compliance: - Follow strict radiation safety protocols to ensure
that radiation exposure is minimized for both the patient and the
medical staff, including wearing protective equipment such as lead
aprons. - Adhere to healthcare regulations and standards, including
HIPAA, infection control measures, and hospital accreditation
guidelines. - Stay updated on the latest radiation safety
practices, imaging techniques, and procedural advancements. 9.
Professional Development and Training: - Participate in continuing
education and training to remain current with the latest
technologies, techniques, and best practices in interventional
radiology. - Obtain and maintain certifications in radiologic
technology and interventional radiology, and attend relevant
workshops, conferences, and seminars. - Mentor and assist in
