INTRODUCTION

1.0 Background of Study

The Medical field is a wide field comprising of all health care providers. All the various health care providers work together to restore the health of the patient. It is therefore pertinent for health care personnel to at least be well skilled in management of emergencies which they find in their hands in the course of their daily duty especially unconscious patients, who they may incidentally encounter.

Medical Radiography, which is known as the ‘eye of medicine’ is a part of this group which specializes in providing patient care through the use of radiographic and/or fluoroscopic equipments with other imaging modalities, like ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging etc. As health care providers, it is imperative that the patients comfort, privacy as well as safety are guaranteed during the procedures.

In events of emergencies in the department, it is also the responsibility of the radiographer to institute acute management of such patients until more specialized care is available.

Emergency procedures are common recurrences in the x-ray department. Even apparently simple procedures may be fraught with dangerous risks. This is typified in the administration of sedatives during procedures whose careful monitoring and registered nursing support is essential1 in this case, where nursing support is absent, the onus is on the radiographer to execute these tasks.

Therefore, as the role of the radiographer continues evolving from being primarily a diagnostician as more patients are being referred fro interventional procedures, it is expected that the radiographer, in addition to having professional autonomy and acceptability, also acquiresadequate resuscitation skills.

The emphasis is on knowledge and assessment of an unconscious patient as well as institution of basic life support also known as primary survey until the casualty team arrives.

It is also imperative to know common causes of loss of consciousness in the department and risk factors for these with the aim of preventing them.

In the past, very little effort has been made to train physiotherapists, radiographers and other paramedical officers in the art of basic life support. This has a negative impact on patients’ care as preventable deaths are allowed. Ideally, any hospital worker should be able to provide basic life support. However, where impossible, the officers that directly relate with the patients ought to be taught these skills and such department ought to be provided with cost – effective resuscitation equipment.

Although death is not common in the radiology department, alertness shows measurable correlation with the efficiency of a hospital.

1.2  Statement of Problem

The radiographer encounter on a daily basis, patients prone to seizures, panic attacks, various maneuver, related syncopes, as wellas those with hypoglycemia and cardiac diseases which are important risk factors for loss of consciousness (LOC).

  • There is tendency for critically ill patients to lapse into unconsciousness during long waiting time for radiological examination or during a radiological procedure.
  • Radiographers may be required to assist a critically ill patients in such areas like the theatre, radiotherapy unit etc.
  • Radiographer may be required to assist an unconsciouspatient in any hospital department.
  • Most times Radiographers are on call and may encounter such situations where a critically ill patient lapses into unconsciousness.

Therefore, there is need to assess their knowledge of proper control in such situations.

1.3 Purpose of Study

To evaluate the knowledge and responses of radiographers tounconscious patients during radiological examination.

1.4  Specific Objectives

  • Assess the level of training about unconscious persons which acquired in the course of their training.
  • To determine the number of radiographers that have the knowledge of attending to unconscious patients.
  • To determine their response to unconscious patients
  • To assess the willingness of radiographers to update their knowledge and response to unconscious patients.
  • To assess radiographers experiences and challenges on management of unconsciousness patients
  • To assess updatedcourses/continuing educationcourses which they have attended on unconscious persons since graduation.

1.5  Significance of Study

The research will

  • Increase the knowledge and response of radiographers to unconscious patients
  • Increase the awareness of radiographers on the level of training in emergency situations.
  • Provide a safer environment within the radiology department
  • Ensure the safety and improvement on the overall well being of the patient.
