I have extensive experience assisting in angiography procedures, including pre-procedure preparation, intra-procedure monitoring, and post-procedure care. My role involves ensuring patient safety, administering medications, and monitoring vital signs. I am skilled in using angiography equipment and managing complications such as contrast reactions. My focus is on providing compassionate care, educating patients, and collaborating with the healthcare team to achieve optimal outcomes.

In emergencies, I remain calm and follow established protocols. I prioritize patient safety by quickly assessing the situation, communicating with the team, and initiating appropriate interventions. For example, during a contrast reaction, I administer emergency medications like antihistamines or epinephrine and monitor the patient closely. My training in ACLS and PALS ensures I am prepared to manage cardiac or respiratory emergencies effectively.

I ensure patient comfort by explaining the procedure, addressing concerns, and providing reassurance. I use techniques like proper positioning, warm blankets, and pain management to minimize discomfort. I also monitor the patient’s response throughout the procedure and adjust care as needed. Building trust and maintaining open communication are key to helping patients feel at ease.

I mitigate risks by screening patients for allergies or kidney issues before administering contrast media. I ensure proper hydration and monitor renal function. During the procedure, I watch for signs of adverse reactions, such as itching or difficulty breathing, and respond promptly. Post-procedure, I monitor for delayed reactions and provide follow-up care as needed.

I stay current by attending workshops, reading medical journals, and participating in professional organizations like the American Nurses Association. I also engage in continuing education courses focused on cardiovascular care and angiography. Collaborating with colleagues and sharing knowledge helps me integrate the latest evidence-based practices into my work.
