when a hospital nurse brought an oxygen tank into the MRI room
Q. What parts impacted you the most?<br /> Answer: A hospital nurse bringing a ferrous metal oxygen tank into the MRI room. This reminds me of how important it is for MRI Techs to always pay attention to their surroundings. Perhaps the Tech could have prevented the nurse from going in there in the first place.
Q. What safety measures were overlooked and or ignored? Answer: Not involving an MRI Technologist. If there was a need for an oxygen tank, the nurse should spoken to the MRI Tech.
Q. Give an assessment of your current safety practices and a pledge of how you intend to view safety in the future.<br /> Answer: There is always a non-ferrous aluminum oxygen tank at my clinical site. Our safety practices consist of good screening questions and attentive listening. There are no nurses at my site. Generally speaking, where I am at, the Techs outnumber the non-Techs. My intention is to view safety as the most important part of my job.
