I have over five years of experience performing angiography procedures, including diagnostic and interventional studies. I am proficient in operating fluoroscopy equipment, administering contrast media, and ensuring patient safety. My expertise includes assisting radiologists during complex cases, such as stent placements and embolizations, while maintaining sterile techniques and adhering to radiation safety protocols.

Patient safety is my top priority. I verify patient identity, confirm the procedure, and review medical history for allergies or contraindications. I use radiation shielding, monitor dose levels, and ensure proper positioning to minimize exposure. I also maintain open communication with patients, explaining steps to reduce anxiety, and closely monitor vital signs throughout the procedure to respond promptly to any complications.

I am skilled in various vascular access techniques, including arterial and venous punctures, using ultrasound guidance for precision. I have experience with Seldinger techniques for catheter placements and managing sheaths and guidewires. My focus is on minimizing patient discomfort, ensuring accurate placement, and preventing complications such as hematomas or vessel damage.

In emergencies, I remain calm and follow established protocols. I am trained to recognize signs of contrast reactions, bleeding, or equipment malfunctions. I immediately alert the radiologist and team, assist with interventions like administering medications or applying pressure, and ensure the crash cart is accessible. My priority is stabilizing the patient while maintaining a sterile field and clear communication.

I perform daily checks on angiography equipment, ensuring functionality and calibration. I troubleshoot minor issues, document malfunctions, and coordinate with biomedical engineering for repairs. I also maintain inventory of supplies, such as catheters and guidewires, and ensure proper sterilization of reusable tools to uphold safety and efficiency in the angiography suite.
