MRI techs: Are you required to assist in changing cardiac device settings in your workplace?

By

Hi all,

I am wanting to know if any inpatient (or outpatient) MR techs are having to assist with changing cardiac device settings (placing the remote over the cardiac device and then the device rep will program the device from another location).

Is this considered being within our scope of practice? Are we liable if an event occurs?

My concern is that if we have ICD, and it gets turned off, and if the patient needs therapy while the scan occurs (aka shock), and the patient codes, we won’t have anyone turn the ICD back on.

Medtronic seems to be pushing for MR techs to assist so their reps don’t have to be on location during patient scans.

Any feedback will be useful. Thank you.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
