I have extensive experience with various endoscopic procedures, including colonoscopies, gastroscopies, and bronchoscopies. I am proficient in setting up and maintaining endoscopic equipment such as endoscopes, biopsy forceps, and insufflation devices. My experience includes ensuring the proper sterilization and functioning of the equipment, as well as assisting the physician during procedures by managing patient monitoring and providing necessary instruments.

I prioritize patient comfort and anxiety management by providing clear, concise explanations of the procedure and addressing any concerns they may have. I use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises and offer reassurance throughout the process. Additionally, I ensure that patients are positioned comfortably and that their vital signs are closely monitored to detect any signs of distress early.

Patient safety is paramount during endoscopy. I follow strict protocols for patient preparation, including proper fasting and medication management. I closely monitor vital signs and intravenous access during the procedure. Additionally, I ensure that all equipment is functioning correctly and that emergency supplies are readily available. I also maintain clear communication with the physician and the rest of the team to quickly address any issues that may arise.

I am trained to quickly recognize and manage complications such as bleeding, perforation, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. I maintain a calm and focused demeanor, ensuring that the patient remains stable while alerting the physician immediately. I assist in implementing emergency protocols, such as administering medications or preparing for potential surgical intervention. My goal is to ensure the highest level of patient safety and care during these critical moments.

Following an endoscopy, I ensure that patients are monitored for any immediate post-procedure complications such as bleeding or abdominal pain. I provide detailed instructions on post-procedure care, including dietary restrictions and activity limitations. I also document the procedure and patient response thoroughly, and I follow up with patients to address any concerns and ensure they understand their recovery process and any necessary follow-up appointments.
