An Interventional Radiology (IR) Technologist plays a crucial role in assisting with minimally invasive procedures that utilize imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy, CT scans, and ultrasound to guide physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. IR Technologists work closely with interventional radiologists and other medical professionals to perform procedures that can treat diseases, 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- Pre-Procedure Preparation
- Prepare the interventional radiology 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.
- 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.
- 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.
