    • Use a handheld transducer (probe) to capture real-time images of the heart, ensuring proper positioning and technique for clear images.
    • Assess the heart's functionality, including examining blood flow, valve performance, and the heart's size, shape, and movement.
    • Adjust settings on the equipment, such as depth, focus, and gain, to ensure optimal image quality for accurate diagnosis.
    • Perform specialized techniques such as doppler imaging to assess blood flow and color flow mapping to visualize blood flow through the heart.
  • Patient Safety and Comfort
    • Ensure the patient's safety and comfort during the procedure by explaining each step and addressing any questions or concerns.
    • Monitor the patient during the procedure for signs of discomfort, anxiety, or distress, adjusting the procedure as necessary.
    • Provide reassurance, especially for patients who may be anxious about the procedure or have claustrophobia or discomfort.
    • Maintain a sterile and clean environment in the echocardiogram room to ensure patient safety.
  • Image Analysis and Reporting
    • Review images captured during the echocardiogram for quality and completeness before submitting them for analysis by the cardiologist.
    • Ensure images are properly labeled with patient information, and follow protocols for accurate documentation.
    • Assess the quality of images and repeat any sections as needed to ensure the best possible diagnostic information.
    • Provide preliminary impressions to the supervising physician or cardiologist based on images, adhering to professional standards.
  • Post-Procedure Care
    • Assist the patient after the procedure, ensuring they are stable and comfortable before leaving the imaging area.
    • Clean the equipment and patient area according to infection control protocols, ensuring all necessary disinfection is completed.
    • Provide the patient with any necessary post-procedure instructions, including follow-up care or the need for additional tests or treatment.
  • Equipment Maintenance and Troubleshooting
    • Ensure the echocardiogram equipment is regularly maintained and properly calibrated for accurate imaging.
    • Perform minor troubleshooting of the equipment, addressing any issues that may affect image quality or performance.
    • Report any malfunctioning equipment to the appropriate personnel for repair or replacement.
  • Documentation and Record-Keeping
    • Maintain accurate and thorough documentation of patient information, procedure details, and images in the electronic health record (EHR) system or other patient databases.
    • Ensure that images and diagnostic reports are stored correctly and are accessible to cardiologists and other healthcare professionals as needed.
    • Complete and document any required patient notes, ensuring compliance with healthcare facility standards and regulations.
  • Collaboration with Medical Team
    • Work closely with cardiologists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals to ensure that echocardiogram results are accurately interpreted and used to guide patient care.
    • Communicate effectively with the medical team to report any findings that may require immediate attention or further investigation.
    • Provide support to physicians during the echocardiogram review process, assisting in analyzing data and discussing findings as necessary.
  • Professional Development and Training
    • Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in echocardiography techniques, equipment, and best practices through continuing education.
    • Obtain and maintain certifications in echocardiography and cardiac sonography from recognized organizations such as ARDMS (American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography) or CCI (Cardiovascular Credentialing International).
    • Assist in the training and mentorship of new technologists, students, or interns, ensuring they are familiar with procedures, equipment, and patient care standards.
