ARRT Registry Review - Patient Care; Ergonomics and Monitoring

This episode reviews the ergonomics and monitoring section of the ARRT Patient Care content specifications. We cover principles of body mechanics, safe patient transfer techniques, and the use of assistive devices to prevent injury. We also discuss assisting patients with medical equipment like IVs, oxygen, catheters, and tracheostomies, as well as monitoring vital signs, recognizing physical signs of distress or injury, and implementing fall prevention strategies. These skills ensure both patient and technologist safety while maintaining high standards of care.
