Omg a trini

Michael `s theatre II Tips 1. Take all the keys to every machine just in case yours stops working 2. Let the surgeon decide where the II comes from , where the Monitor should go, don’t assume 3. If the body part is over the steel table base, or the metal table edge, or gaps in the foam table are in the way then -solution- Move the patient. 4. Beware sandbags , can be put under hips/ chest by inexperienced theatre staff 5. Set a manual kv for extremities -so that even if you come in and are centred in the wrong place , the image will be correctly exposed. Otherwise if your going in and out, over the body part, even slight miss centering, will result in a black/ underexposed image, because it will give a fresh air exposure eg 44kv ( which would not get through a finger). Generally hand 52kv, ankle 57kv, knee/ shoulder 62k , then tweek it. I once I had a student who never centred bang in the middle once, for an ankle op . The surgeon didn`t notice. The foam table makes 2 kv difference. Some machines require the first exposure to be on the AED. 6. The ii has an obese button, which is the maximum mA output, find out where this is. If this doesn’t work and the image is black - still under exposed , the only thing you can do is try and use the Monitor brightness/contrast - this may well not work ! there`s nothing you can do !! with this machine. 7. Save all the images- make this a habit- you don’t know which operation turns out wrong, even though it seems ok at the time 8. If your doing AP and Lateral, every time you go to the other position , swap the image over on the monitors. So you always keep an AP on one side, and a Lateral on the other. This takes concentration. 9. The worst problem is obesity with osteoporosis. Obesity means the II will use a high KV eg 110kv ,so LOW contrast. The bones will be very hard to see, because they don’t have any bone in them ! If the surgeon is moaning explain this LOL I had the same problem with AP hip on a young man- biggest muscular thigh in England. 10. Expect the first image to be wrong, wrong place , wrong orientation. Move the wheels in the direction you want to go, either towards head/ foot or in/out , make it easy for yourself , move in each direction in turn, and you will get where you want to be. Small movement`s to keep control. 11. Don’t let the surgeons use the flat II surface to apply a wet Plaster of Paris, unless you cover it first with a plastic bag, or water will get into it and it will go bang ! 12. For hips / DHS cover the tube ( under the table/ hip) with a plastic bag ,so blood doesn’t get into it. 13. You can get a lateral of the humerus, femur with the patient flat ( both legs down) on the table if you come in sideways, from the opposite side, and angle 70 degrees. and the body part ( shoulder/ hip/ femur) is right over the edge of the table ( so the metal table sides are not in the way) 14. If you leave the theatre for a break ( very long case) always tell someone whose sterile ( surgeon/ scrub nurse) where you will be, just in case they suddenly need you back. 15. Only ask the surgeon a question when hes not doing something dangerous e.g. with a drill. 16. At the end of the operation get a clear answer you are finished BEFORE you remove the sterile xray cover.

Thank you ! Very helpful

Very informative video thanks for sharing!

Hi there! Will you do a video on 30 60 90° patella view? We have an orthopedic surgeon who will routinely order this to evaluate the tracking of the patella. We know that the knee should be flexed at those different angles; but is it accurate to have the patient hold the detector at 90° if the patient can not lie prone due to body habitus or some other reason? Can we use an alternative way of changing the detector angle to compensate or is this not an accurate assessment of the patella itself?

I take my boards ARRT in 2 months and I'm freaking OUT

What happened to ultrasound school?

Something of note here is that while this is definitely valid, your experience also varies depending on clinic/hospital/staff and I definitely find my work at my hospital to be so much fun! We have about 10 radiographers hired right now, and we do all of the scanning, the CT's, portables, diagnostic, nuclear, surgery, cardio, fluoro, and it comes and goes in waves. But I'm halfway trough my program right now and love every bit of it, even the hard parts.

If only you could’ve been my instructor. Your explanations are so simplified.

kVp and x-ray Contrast HELP YOU

Is it true that there’s no room for career growth as a rad tech?

After 3 years I still sometimes Over rotate 😣 idk what I’m doing wrong

Nice video . Would want to ask if this job required some majority online classes and were there classes I had to be in class for ? Asking because I am in the navy and I want to be able to complete my degree without my absence in class being a problem . Thank you

starting on summer 🙏

Are you a Trinidadian my friend?

Radiologist and radiographer different

Hello, I have a few questions to ask about radiography, is there anyone you could put me in contact with who would be willing to do an informational interview with?🙂

Did your job require the vaccination?

Thank you for this video! This spring I will be graduating from community college so I'm currently trying to see which career I want to fully pursue and radiology is something I have been interested in!

Thank you so much for this video!!! You are so sweet to share your knowledge with us.

how long does it take you to be in that field?

That's great. Does the UK filter degrees from different parts of the world?

congrats :))

Than Q for your explanation... ✨🤝

This was so simplified....could have seen this for SI class as a student. Thanks eh😅

Well summarized!

Beautiful caribbean accent!!! Like music to my ears. Im interested in this field very much at 23 years of age, thank you for this informative video!! Much appreciated. ❤

Are you exposed more to radiation? Or do you go into a safe room? Is being by the machines themselves bad?

Praise the Creator for making awesome tools. Trust Jesus. Do not trust mankind. sin is a sinking ship that will burn away in the lake of fire. Blessings upon you all, especially those who speak and do as according to Love. GOD alone bears the name of Love because He alone is GOOD. GOD is Love.

Hello hii even I moved to England . I’m in northeast

where should i start to become a rad tech

Underappreciated? Come down to the central sterile department😭

Wow! Big Congratulations n your UK move! 👏👏👏🥰 Did you have to re obtain license for UK?

Try at the community colleges for Ultrasound.

Where you raised by rich parents? When discussing pay...you allude to actually having to work to get paid. And the physical part...are you naturally lazy. You sound completely entitled.

You sound a little spoiled. Any job that pays that well with that little of an education, it's stressful and you are under appreciated. You aren't alone. And physical demand is very little compared to so many jobs.

Am i going to have to get the covid vaccines

You’re trini ❤ also, thanks for the video

What's the starting pay like?

UK looks good on you... Best regards

Do you have a lot of free time outside the hospital? Like enough time to hit the gym and visit family?

Great videos! Thanks so much for the great advice!

How hard is passing the exam??

Hi! Thank you for this video. I have a question for you and for everyone who has been a radiologist especially for “proton therapist”. I am curious. Do you think working close to radiation can cause you to have brain cancer or any cancer? Please let me know! Thank you! 😊

Congratulations on your move! I want to move to the UK as well. People are people and I feel your pain. Stay professional. Don’t let the 1% rude people ruin you mental health. Cheers!

And also is the vacation and time off pretty good?

So can I become. A radiology tech with an associates and train under someon3 else?

Which factors affect on quality of radiograph.

Do sonographers make more then x-ray techs?

Thank you for doing this video. I have a question. How can you manipulate the X-ray tube to mimic external or internal rotation for a cross table lateral (shooting mediolateral or lateromedial)when the patient CAN NOT move?
