    • Monitor patients for signs of discomfort or distress and adjust positioning or equipment settings as needed.
    • Address patient concerns or discomfort, particularly for anxious or nervous patients.
    • Maintain a clean and sterile environment, adhering to infection control standards.
  • Image Analysis and Reporting:
    • Capture high-quality images that meet medical evaluation criteria.
    • Review and analyze ultrasound images for clarity and completeness before submission to physicians or radiologists.
    • Provide preliminary findings or impressions based on ultrasound images, adhering to professional and legal guidelines.
    • Ensure correct image labeling and storage in the hospital's electronic health record (EHR) system or PACS.
  • Post-Procedure Care:
    • Assist patients after procedures, ensuring they are stable and comfortable before leaving the examination room.
    • Remove gel from the skin and offer tissues or towels for cleaning.
    • Provide patients with aftercare instructions, especially if additional follow-up appointments or tests are required.
    • Advise patients to follow up with their physician for review of results or further treatment.
  • Equipment Maintenance and Troubleshooting:
    • Regularly inspect and maintain ultrasound equipment, ensuring optimal performance and good working condition.
    • Perform basic troubleshooting for equipment malfunctions, reporting technical issues to the appropriate team for repair.
    • Ensure proper cleaning and sanitizing of the ultrasound probe between patients, following infection control protocols.
  • Documentation and Record-Keeping:
    • Maintain accurate records of procedures performed, including patient information, images, and reports.
    • Complete documentation in compliance with hospital policies, regulatory standards, and patient confidentiality guidelines (e.g., HIPAA).
    • Ensure correct storage and accessibility of images and results for review by physicians or radiologists.
  • Collaboration with Medical Team:
    • Work closely with physicians, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals to provide accurate imaging for diagnosis and treatment.
    • Communicate effectively with physicians and other medical staff to discuss image quality or potential findings requiring further investigation.
    • Assist in preparing reports or other documentation as needed for medical records or treatment planning.
  • Professional Development and Training:
    • Participate in continuing education opportunities to stay current with the latest advancements in ultrasound technology and imaging techniques.
    • Maintain certifications and licensure required for ultrasound technology, including RDMS certification and Basic Life Support certification.
    • Assist in training new sonographers or students in the proper operation of ultrasound equipment, patient care, and safety protocols.
