I have extensive experience in neuro endovascular procedures, having worked in a high-volume neurointerventional lab for over five years. My responsibilities included assisting with diagnostic angiograms, thrombectomies, aneurysm coiling, and stent placements. I am proficient in preparing the angiography suite, ensuring all equipment is functioning correctly, and assisting the neurointerventional team during procedures. My hands-on experience has honed my ability to anticipate the needs of the team and respond quickly to any changes during a procedure.

Ensuring patient safety is my top priority. I adhere strictly to protocols, including verifying patient identity, procedure site, and consent before beginning. I meticulously prepare and check all equipment and medications for compatibility and dosage. During procedures, I monitor the patient's vital signs and neurological status closely, ready to alert the team to any changes. I also maintain a sterile field to prevent infections and ensure all team members follow safety guidelines to minimize risks.

One challenging case involved a patient with a complex, wide-necked aneurysm unsuitable for standard coiling. I assisted in preparing for a stent-assisted coiling procedure, ensuring all necessary devices were available. During the procedure, I helped troubleshoot a device deployment issue by quickly providing alternative tools suggested by the physician. My ability to stay calm under pressure and my familiarity with the equipment contributed to the successful treatment of the aneurysm, demonstrating my value in critical situations.

I stay updated by attending professional workshops, subscribing to leading neurointerventional journals, and participating in online forums and webinars. I also engage with peers at conferences to exchange knowledge about emerging technologies and techniques. This commitment to continuous learning ensures I can contribute effectively to my team by applying the latest evidence-based practices and technologies to improve patient outcomes.

Essential qualities include technical proficiency, attention to detail, and the ability to work under pressure. A successful tech must also possess strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with the neurointerventional team. Adaptability is crucial, as procedures can change rapidly. Lastly, a commitment to patient safety and continuous learning ensures the highest standards of care are maintained, making these qualities indispensable for anyone in this role.
