Had another extravasation case on sat. Sigh... this was my second case. My first case was just one week ago. i should start believing in my intuition. For both occassions, i already have the feeling before the case. i should have just ask them to set another plug even though the flow was smooth during the testing. My intuition has always been accurate but i chose not to believe in it.
Well, luckily, this time round the volume injected was not as much as the previous case and the swelling did not appear as bad. Partly because, the party involved differ in sizes. Sigh just hope that i would be more careful next time. Because of that, i need to write the incident report to document the incident. As a result, i missed my driving lesson on sat. =(
i realised that my attention span was low and this is a very big problem for one doing CT. Since one would need to focus on the scans in order not to make a blunder out of it, i need to work on these areas. That is to think fast and accurately. Speed is also another problem. They said i am still new that's why slow... however after one month of working solo in CT, i still have not adapt a suitable workflow. That is from the start of the scans to the end of the scan which involving processing the images to sending the images to PACS to verifying the images in PACS. Where is the ideal workflow? i should be getting somewhere now at this stage.. at least should be able to complete the case from beginning to the end all by myself and not completed partially by another person. Hmmm... am i too impatient?
