Job Title: Echocardiography Technologist Profession: Echo Tech Specialty: Cardiovascular Non-Invasive Duration: 13 weeks Shift: Day, Monday to Friday Hours per Shift: 8 hours (7:15 AM - 3:45 PM) Experience: Minimum three years of applicable experience License: Required Certifications: - American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS) or - Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI) in Echocardiography - BLS (American Heart Association) Must-Have: - Knowledge of patient positioning, breathing techniques, and transducer positioning - Proficient in recognizing abnormalities in structure and function - Knowledge of gross and sectional anatomy - Proficient in basic computer skills, including word processing and spreadsheets Description: The role involves providing high-quality ultrasound images of the heart and great vessels for adult patients. It includes technical assistance with exercise and non-exercise stress testing. The technician will perform high-quality two-dimensional ultrasound studies, identifying EKG abnormalities and arrhythmias. Utilizing knowledge of age-specific needs, the technician will perform everyday duties responsibly. The role requires understanding various imaging and Doppler techniques to investigate specific clinical questions. Demonstrating use of M-Mode techniques for measuring cardiac dimensions at precise times is essential. Estimating the severity of valvular insufficiencies by mapping dimensions, orientation, and directions of regurgitant jets with color flow Doppler is included. Assessment of blood flow through the heart, including increased velocities, stenosis, regurgitation, and shunts using Doppler techniques is necessary. Conversely, contrast echocardiography may be employed when two-dimensional and color flow are suboptimal. Evaluating left and right ventricular systolic and diastolic functions and documenting wall motion abnormalities is part of the responsibilities. The technician must recognize congenital heart malformations, acquired pathologies, and possible outcomes of surgical procedures. Completing studies according to updated protocols and recognizing the need for additional views and calculations is vital. Correlating clinical history with examinations and consulting with cardiologists for clarification is a requirement. Monitoring, recording, and managing communications appropriately using computerized documentation systems is essential. The technician prepares and assists patients during stress echocardiograms in a timely manner. Assisting cardiologists in performing transesophageal echocardiograms (TEE) is included. Communicating results to cardiologists and responding to questions and concerns promptly is fundamental. Maintaining monthly correlation studies and statistics is part of the role. Troubleshooting and reporting equipment failure is necessary for efficient operations. Participation in mobile echo services and callback rotation is expected. Documenting procedures accurately and assessing patients' physical abilities for tests is crucial. The technician needs to interpret physician's orders accurately and provide thorough assessments of patients in emergencies. Demonstrating proficiency in identifying lethal arrhythmias and completing quarterly competency assessments is also required. Consideration is given to obtaining images of cardiac structures in various echocardiographic windows. Operating ultrasound equipment involves understanding controls that affect data quality. Selecting the appropriate transducer for optimal resolution is crucial for accurate imaging. Obtaining, reviewing, and documenting patient history and clinical data is essential for diagnostic results. The role may involve conducting pediatric echocardiograms while ensuring high-quality imaging and patient care.
