   • Ensure patients are properly positioned for the procedure, ensuring both safety and image quality.

3. Assisting with Procedures :

   • Assist radiologists and technologists during diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology procedures, such as biopsies, catheter placements, angiograms, and drain placements.
   • Monitor patients during the procedure, managing sedation levels, pain relief, and any medical concerns that arise.
   • Respond promptly to any complications or emergencies that occur during the procedure, such as allergic reactions, equipment failure, or patient distress.

4. Sedation and Pain Management :

   • Administer and monitor sedation and anesthesia as per the physician’s orders and hospital protocols, ensuring patient safety.
   • Assess the patient's response to sedation and adjust medication dosages as required.
   • Provide pain management during and after radiology procedures, using appropriate interventions and medications.

5. Post-Procedure Care :

   • Monitor patients closely after radiological procedures, particularly those that require sedation, to ensure their vital signs remain stable and they recover fully.
   • Provide education on aftercare instructions, such as hydration, rest, and managing any side effects or discomfort following procedures like biopsies or angiograms.
   • Document all patient assessments, interventions, and reactions in the electronic health record (EHR).

6. Patient Education :

   • Educate patients on the specifics of their radiology procedures, explaining the process, potential side effects, and the purpose of the procedure.
   • Answer any questions patients may have regarding the procedure, contrast agents, or aftercare.
   • Provide guidance on post-procedural care, such as activity restrictions, signs of complications, and follow-up appointments.

7. Infection Control and Safety :

   • Follow strict infection control protocols when handling patients and radiology equipment, especially during invasive or interventional procedures.
   • Maintain a sterile field during procedures, ensuring aseptic techniques are used to reduce the risk of infection.
   • Ensure the proper handling and disposal of radioactive materials, contrast agents, and other potentially hazardous substances according to hospital guidelines.

8. Collaboration and Communication :

   • Work closely with radiologists, radiologic technologists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals to ensure patient care is coordinated and seamless.
   • Communicate effectively with patients and families to provide updates on the procedure, any potential complications, and recovery progress.
   • Collaborate with the healthcare team to review imaging results, discuss treatment options, and adjust care plans as necessary.

9. Documentation and Reporting :

   • Document all nursing assessments, interventions, and patient responses in the medical record accurately and in a timely manner.
   • Ensure that documentation reflects patient care, sedation details, medication administration, and any complications that arise.
   • Report adverse reactions, equipment malfunctions, or concerns to the appropriate healthcare team members.

10. Quality Improvement and Continuing Education :

    • Participate in quality improvement initiatives to improve patient outcomes, safety, and care efficiency in the radiology department.
