About the Job

Job Description:

  • We are looking for an experienced Interventional Radiology technologist to assist with minimally invasive procedures that utilize imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy, CT scans, and ultrasound.
  • The successful candidate will work closely with interventional radiologists and other medical professionals to perform procedures that can treat diseases, blockages, and injuries without traditional surgery.
Responsibilities

Pre-Procedure Preparation:

  • Ensure 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.

Assisting During Procedures:

  • Assist the interventional radiologist in performing various minimally invasive procedures, including angiograms, biopsies, catheter placements, stent insertions, and drain placements.
  • Operate imaging equipment 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 training new IR technologists or students in proper procedures, equipment handling, and safety protocols.
