  • Assisting with GI Procedures:
    • Assist gastroenterologists and endoscopy specialists during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as endoscopies and other procedures like biopsies or polyp removals.
    • Monitor and manage patients during the procedure, ensuring their comfort and safety, including sedation levels, oxygenation, and vital signs.
    • Respond to any complications or adverse reactions during procedures, including nausea, bleeding, or respiratory distress.
  • Post-Procedure Care and Monitoring:
    • Monitor patients post-procedure for adverse reactions, complications (e.g., bleeding, perforation), and recovery from sedation or anesthesia.
    • Assess vital signs, oxygenation levels, and consciousness levels during the recovery phase.
    • Provide wound care for biopsy sites or areas that may have been treated during the procedure.
    • Ensure the patient is stable and ready for discharge, providing post-procedure instructions, including care for any biopsy sites, signs of complications, and follow-up appointments.
  • Patient Education:
    • Educate patients on preparation for future procedures, including bowel preparation for colonoscopies or dietary restrictions for certain tests.
    • Provide information on post-procedure care, including managing discomfort, avoiding certain activities, and understanding when to seek medical attention for complications.
    • Address any questions or concerns patients or family members may have regarding the procedure, results, or next steps in treatment.
