Stress Tech II – Radiology GENERAL SUMMARY/ INTRODUCTION STATEMENT: Summarize the nature and level of work carried out. The Cardiovascular Tension Tech II, in collaboration with the supervising cardiologist, individually coordinates workout tolerance tests and guarantees research studies being carried out are appropriate. Thoroughly screens each patient’s medical record by using the PCIS system to obtain previous test results to optimize the safety of the exercise study. Identifies high-risk clients by history and assessment to identify who may be at threat for the procedure. Changes screening protocol for high risk clients; collaborates with nursing and physician personnel as needed. Interviews the client prior to the performance of the test to determine the indicator for the test and possible contraindication( s). Throughout the study, thoroughly observes the patient and keep track of the electrocardiogram and hemodynamic reaction to exercise stress, making sure that a complete informative and safe assessment is carried out. Ensures that an accurate test report is prepared. Schedules patients, keeps materials and devices as required. PRIMARY TASKS AND DUTIES: Show crucial locations of responsibility, major task duties, unique projects and key objectives for this position. These items should be evaluated throughout the year and included in the written annual assessment. Collaborates non imaging exercise tests, which are performed on a treadmill. Obtains case history, interviews patients, identify the clinical energy of the study, pretest possibility of IHD, sign and contraindication of the test. Makes use of digital medical record reporting system to get previous test outcomes. Coordinates ambulatory electrocardiograms for patients including resting EKG, holter monitoring and occasion tracking. Organizes and facilitate pacemaker patient consultations. Interfaces between all doctor the details obtained from test outcomes. Preserves all proper accreditation/ qualifications. Participates in appropriate rounds and conferences. – Carries out a focused client interview as an important element of examining patients’ suitability for eligibility for stress screening. Synthesizes complicated physiologic parameters to determine suitability or ineligibility for testing of individual patients. – Examines patient condition for tension testing to consist of Acute Coronary Syndromes, heart markers, and clinical evaluation of clients with known or suspected Ischemic Heart Disease, – Evaluates client for stress screening using the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines. – Runs treadmill and Case maker to ellicit and track heart efficiency of clients, analyzes 12 lead ECG strip; recognizes arrhythmias; recognizes indicators for terminating the tension research study; files appropriate patient information on the information collection kind and in the patient’s chart. – Recognizes emergency situation situations and responds properly including supplying fundamental life assistance. – Provides timely service to meet scheduled and walk in testing. – Orients patient to tension testing including description of stress tech function, equipment utilized, screening conducted, and procedure for communication of results. – Interacts in a clear and collaborative way with clients, coworkers, referring providers and others. – Takes part in orientation of new Cardiology team member. – Serve as a resource to associates for tension screening – Offers feedback and tip relating to cardiac screening to management and clinical personnel. – Maintains and updates scientific knowledge and skills through continuing curricula – Coordinates ambulatory electrocardiograms for clients consisting of resting EKG, holter tracking and event tracking. – – Schedules patient appointments – – Provides client directions, prepare, and locations ambulatory monitors. – – Download and supplies initial analysis to checking out cardiologist – – Sends last reports to purchasing service provider. – Organizes and assists in pacemaker client appointments – – Records/tracks latest pacemaker interrogation and subsequent pacemaker interrogations – – Acquire preliminary pacemaker interrogation data and supplies the details to the cardiologist. – – Collaborates supplier agent to be available for patient go to at the discretion of the cardiologist. CERTIFICATIONS: (MUST be practical, neither overstated nor understated, and associated to the important functions of the task.) – BS degree in workout physiology and 3 years of work experience in the performance of exercise tension tests in adult clients with recognized or suspected heart disease. – National certification in ECG recognition preferred – Extremely knowledgeable in interpersonal interaction with patients and staff. SKILLS/ ABILITIES/ COMPETENCIES REQUIRED: (MUST be realistic, quantifiable, unbiased, and associated to the important functions of the job.) – Basic life assistance accreditation. – Knowledgeable of common exercise tension procedures. – Complete understanding of indications and contra-indications to efficiency of stress screening and indicators for stopping a test when started. – Need to have the ability to elicit a suitable heart history from a client to identify if any contra-indications to tension screening exist. – Demonstrates sound medical judgment directing real tension tests. – Capability to analyze rest and workout ECG’s particularly for arrhythmias. – Capability to interpret the electrocardiogram and prepare total report. – Capability to handle unanticipated medical circumstances and numerous competing concerns in a flexible and adaptable manner. – Capability to work independently along with in multidisciplinary groups. – Well-informed in pathophysiology with a mutual understanding of concepts and methods of scientific exercise testing. – Well-informed of pharmacology as it connects to heart medicine and the prospective impacts on exercise testing. – Understanding of new info and present trends in clinical cardiovascular physiology. – Capability to utilize a computer based medical record system. – Ability to supply care proper to the age of clients served in Cardiology. – Capability to establish favorable relationships with patients and households to enhance participation in the testing procedure. – Familiarity with correct handling of radioactive products used in cardiac screening. WORKING CONDITIONS: Explain the conditions in which the work is performed. The person will work in a hectic outpatient cardiology department. The department does both imaging and non-imaging tension tests on a wide range of patients. There is very little direct exposure to harmful products (blood and radioactive product).
