I have over five years of hands-on experience in advanced GI endoscopic procedures, including ERCP, EUS, and colonoscopy. My training was completed at a high-volume endoscopy center, where I assisted in over 1,000 procedures. I am proficient in preparing and maintaining endoscopic equipment, assisting physicians during procedures, and ensuring patient safety and comfort. My experience also includes troubleshooting equipment issues and adhering to strict sterilization protocols to prevent infections.

Ensuring patient safety is my top priority. I meticulously check all equipment before use, confirm patient identities and procedure details, and monitor vital signs throughout the procedure. I maintain a sterile environment to prevent infections and am trained in emergency protocols to respond swiftly to any complications. Communication with the healthcare team is key, and I always double-check medication dosages and patient allergies to avoid adverse reactions.

During a complex ERCP, the patient experienced a sudden drop in blood pressure. I immediately alerted the physician and assisted in stabilizing the patient by administering IV fluids as directed. My quick response, based on thorough knowledge of emergency protocols, helped manage the situation effectively. The procedure was paused until the patient was stable, demonstrating the importance of vigilance and teamwork in high-stakes environments.

I perform regular preventive maintenance on endoscopic equipment, including cleaning, disinfecting, and inspecting for wear and tear. I keep detailed logs of maintenance and any issues encountered. When troubleshooting, I first consult the equipment manual and use diagnostic tools to identify problems. For complex issues, I collaborate with biomedical technicians, ensuring minimal downtime. My proactive approach helps maintain equipment reliability and extends its lifespan.

I actively participate in professional workshops, webinars, and conferences focused on GI endoscopy. I subscribe to leading medical journals and am part of online forums where professionals discuss new technologies and techniques. This continuous learning allows me to apply the latest best practices in my work, improving patient outcomes and efficiency. I also share insights with my team, fostering a culture of knowledge and innovation.
